Qin won a Golden Award in the Advertisement Model category of the 1999 National Nominate Newcomer Competition (全国推新人大赛). In February 2003, when Taiwanese writer Chiung Yao and her team were holding auditions in Beijing, Qin was selected from a pool of 200 candidates to play a new character, Chen Zhihua in the television series My Fair Princess III.[4]
In 2015, Qin began to start working as a producer. In addition to setting up a studio to handle her acting career, she also established a business for developing films.[6][7]
By 2017, Qin had successfully produced two online television series.[8]
In 2020, Qin starred in the workplace drama We Are All Alone, playing an iron-willed agent.[10]
Qin participated in the period drama series “Legacy,” which will premiere exclusively on WarnerMedia’s regional streaming service HBO Go at an unspecified date later in 2021. “Legacy” is a 1920s-set drama that chronicles the lives of the wealthy Yi family and three sisters who vie to inherit their father’s shopping mall business. In a time of upheaval and uncertainty, the three sisters set aside their differences to keep the business afloat and save their families.[11]
In March 2021, similar to the actions of most Chinese celebrities, Qin publicly announced her support for cotton from the Xinjiang region after several overseas companies announced they will not purchase cotton from the region due to concerns over forced labour of Uyghurs.[13]
