In 2004, BMG released the soundtrack for the television series Half Life Fate.[1] In the soundtrack, Lin sang five songs.
At the end of November 2008 Lin returned to music after a further four-year break with her new album, New Rubyology (新如主義). Her album cut "Onion Soup" (洋蔥濃湯) led the China Music Song Chart (中国歌曲联) for three weeks.[2] At the 12th M-Zone music award, Lin won the Golden Melody and Entertainer of the Year Awards.[3]
