Thanks a lot for your advice. Appreciate it. It seems like I am going to skip Hualian as it seems out of the way. So the places I will hit would be
Tai Chung > SML > CJ> Taipei.
Day 1: Taoyuan Airport (Noon arrive) > Taichung (TC overnight)
Day 2: TC ( TC overnight)
Day 3: TC > SML (SML overnight)
Day 4: SML > CJ (CJ overnight)
Day 5: CJ (CJ overnight)
Day 6: CJ > Taipei ( Taipei overnight)
Day 7: Taipei
Day 8: Taipei > Airport(Evening)
How does this look? Too boring? Anything else to do in CJ /SML area? Thanks for any feedback!

You can consider the following:
Day 1: Taoyuan Airport (Noon arrive) > CJ (CJ overnight)
Day 2: CJ > SML (SML overnight)
Day 3: SML > TC (TC overnight) / SML (SML overnight)
Day 4: TC (TC overnight) / SML > TC (TC overnight)
Day 5: TC (TC overnight)
Day 6: TC > Taipei (Taipei overnight)
Day 7: Taipei
Day 8: Taipei > Airport(Evening)
Cingjing can finish within Day 1 or at most Day 1 + Day 2 morning. There are not much attractions in Cingjing to stay 2 nights.
Nantou/SML attractions are mainly 日月潭, 文武廟, 九族文化村, 溪頭 妖怪村 (nothing much unless you really got no places to go), 天空之橋 (see sunset) and maybe 紙教堂. There are some hiking places if you are interested.
You can decide if you want to spend more time in Nantou/SML, Taichung or Taipei to plan your stay accordingly.
I think it is easily for TC > Taipei as compared to CJ > Taipei.
