Lee led the National Youth Commission from 1998 to 2000. Upon stepping down, she joined the faculty of National Chengchi University, where she taught finance and economics. Lee placed third on the Kuomintang party list and was elected as an at-large legislator via proportional representation in December 2004. In August 2005, she was elected to the KMT Central Committee. Lee contested a second central committee election in 2006, and won. Lee received early support from a coalition of civic groups and retained her legislative seat in 2008, again via proportional representation. Later that year, Lee left the Legislative Yuan and was appointed vice chairperson of the Financial Supervisory Commission. In May 2010, it was reported that Lee would be reassigned to a state-owned enterprise, but she remained at the FSC and was reappointed to another term as vice chair in June 2012.
