During this time she was also educated as a physician at Trisakti University.
During the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Tjoa published more popular novels, including An Illusion (Sebuah Ilusi), The Red Saga (Saga Merah), and Doctor Sabara's Secret (Rahasia Dokter Sabara).
She also published some collections of short stories, including Love Song (Lagu Cinta) and Monik.
One of Indonesia's most prolific writers, she first became well known in 1971 for her serial Karmila which was published as a book in 1973 and later made into a film.
Tjoa became famous after first novel, Karmila, was published in 1971.
In 1972 she followed Karmila's success with The Storm Will Surely Pass (Badai Pasti Berlalu), which was serialized in Kompas between 5 June and 2 September 1972, with a novelized version being published in 1974.
Both novels were adapted into movies, with Badai Pasti Berlalu going on to win four Citra awards.
This early success convinced her to continue writing.
In 2004, Tjoa published A Bud of Hope (Sekuntum Nozomi) to commemorate the eighth anniversary of the 1998 Jakarta Riots.

As of 2006, she had published 38 novels.

Tjoa lived in Central Jakarta.
She died on 17 August 2023, at the age of 79.
Tjoa was seen as trying to distance herself from her Chinese-Indonesian background during a period of legislation regarding Chinese culture in Indonesia, as evidenced by her use of a neutral pen name and a general disregard for Chinese culture and problems in her literary works.
Her diction is also described as "identical to that of indigenous writers."
As a result, many readers do not realize that Tjoa was Chinese-Indonesian.
