Lin Chi-ling was unexpectedly erased from the spotlight.

Sina reported that Lin Chi-ling has been less active in the arts after getting married and having children. Recently, there were reports that she made a guest appearance in the drama "The Magnolia Blossoms, and Someone Comes Again," starring Yang Zi and Ou Hao. Fans captured images of Lin Chi-ling on set, however, when the project was officially released to the public, Lin Chi-ling's name was completely removed.

Lin Chi-ling's appearance in "The Magnolia Blossoms, and Someone Comes Again" was shown. However, her role was removed from the film's credits.

Lin Chi-ling had also filmed for the popular entertainment show Mao Xue Wang (hosted by Mao Buyi and Li Xueqin), but the show unexpectedly announced a last-minute change to its broadcast schedule. In the trailer for the new episode, Lin Chi-ling appeared in a segment sharing her life after marriage and parenting, sharing tips for building a happy life, but the episode featuring Taiwan's (China's) most expensive supermodel was not aired. Instead, the production team switched to airing the episode featuring Tan Songyun and Dong Qing. The trailer featuring Lin Chi-ling was also removed.

The series of actions aimed at erasing all traces of Lin Chi-ling's past has left the public bewildered. Previously, only stars involved in serious scandals or who violated the law and were banned from artistic activities were treated in this way.

According to Sina, the reason Lin Chi-ling was embroiled in controversy may be because she was once a member of an organization called the Board of Directors of the Taiwan Creative Content Institute (TAICCA) and held political views that were incompatible with mainland China. Although Lin Chi-ling quickly resigned afterward, the incident still had an impact on the actress.

Lin Chi-ling's artistic activities have been restricted.

According to Sohu , Lin Chi-ling was once the most sought-after and highest-paid model in Taiwan and China. She was also active in the mainland Chinese market. Before her marriage, Lin Chi-ling was a highly sought-after "national goddess."

Lin Chi-ling's marriage to Japanese singer Akira in 2018 was not well-received by the public. Since then, her fame has declined. Furthermore, the couple faced difficulties conceiving and having children. Lin Chi-ling had her eggs frozen, but she had to undergo multiple IVF treatments before succeeding. The model gave birth to a son in early 2022.

Since having a child, Lin Chi-ling has taken a break from her acting career. The actress said that she is currently devoting all her time to caring for her young son and her seriously ill mother. Lin Chi-ling's mother currently cannot remember her. Her husband, Akira, has also come to Taiwan to help Lin Chi-ling care for her mother. Currently, Lin Chi-ling occasionally participates in events as a model for advertisements.
