=== 2017–2018 season === Chen's ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut came in September 2017, in Zagreb, Croatia, where she placed sixteenth. The following month, she finished tenth at a JGP event in Gdańsk, Poland. In December, she stepped onto her first senior national podium, taking bronze at the 2018 Chinese Championships.

After taking the silver medal at the Chinese championships, she placed eleventh at the 2020 Four Continents Championships.<ref name=20204CC>{{cite web |url= http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1920/fc2020/CAT002RS.htm |title= ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships Results - Ladies |publisher= International Skating Union }}</ref> She was assigned to compete at the 2020 World Championships, but these were cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.<ref name=CBC200311>{{cite news |url= https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/figureskating/canada-figure-skating-world-championships-cancelled-coronavirus-1.5493642 |title= World figure skating championships cancelled in Montreal |first= Lori |last= Ewing |work= CBC Sports |date= March 11, 2020 }}</ref>

=== 2020–2021 season === With the pandemic continuing to affect international travel, the ISU assigned the Grand Prix based largely on geography.

Ultimately, the Chinese Olympic Committee awarded the sole Olympic women's singles spot to Zhu Yi.

Following the decision, Chen posted on her Weibo that although she felt regretful over having missed out on being selected to go to the Olympics, she would continue to work hard.<ref name=OG22/>
