In August 2015, Wang attained fourth position in the 50 m backstroke and fifth in the 100 m backstroke at the 2016 FINA Swimming World Cup in Paris-Chartres, France. [11][12] In October of the same year, as part of Guangzhou team, she won the 100 m backstroke at the VIII China National Youth Games in Fujian and her team won the 4 × 100 m medley relay with a time of 4 minutes 06.59 seconds at the same event.[13][14] She represented China at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil but was eliminated in the 100m backstroke semi-final.[15] Later in 2016, she won second positions in both the 50m and 100m backstroke at the Asian Swimming Championships in Tokyo, Japan in November.[16][17]

In 2017, she finished sixth position with a time of 27.55 seconds in the 50 m backstroke at the 17th FINA World Championships in Budapest, Hungary in July.[18] On 31 August of the same year, at the 13th National Games in Henan, China, representing Guangdong, she won second place in the women's 100 m backstroke final with a time of 1:00.25.[19] At the same event, Wang and her team won third place in the 4 × 100 m mixed medley relay and while part of joint team representing Liaoning, Shanghai, Henan and Guangdong at the women's 4 × 100 m medley relay, Wang's team won second place with a time of 4 minutes 23 seconds.[20][21]

In September 2021, at the 14th National Games in Shaanxi, Wang and the Guangdong team won the third place in the 4 × 200 m medley relay and in the 100 m backstroke final, she finished fourth place. At the same event, the Guangdong team won third place with a time of 3 minutes 47 seconds at the mixed 4 × 100 m medley relay and in the women's 4 × 100 m medley relay, the Guangdong team won fourth position.[22] In March 2023, at the 2023 National Spring Swimming Championships in Qingdao, China, Wang won gold medals in the 100 m backstroke final, 4 × 100 m mixed medley relay final and 4 × 100 m women's medley relay.[23] In September, at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, she won first place in the 50m backstroke and second in the 100m backstroke.[24][25] However, at the 4 × 100 m medley relay preliminaries, the Chinese team was disqualified following Wang's false start.[26]
