After playing the supporting roles in several dramas (including the mega hit Meteor Garden), she landed the starring role (Qi Yue) in the CTV drama Devil Beside You opposite Mike He.

Criticism
In 2003, Yang mistook the eight-year Second Sino-Japanese War as having been eleven years in length during a television program. After having learned the actual length of the war, she responded with “Only eight years?” This response generated anger in mainland China, leading to boycotting of Hunan Satellite Television’s airing of Devil Beside You, in which she acted. Upon learning the widespread boycott, Hunan TV replaced the show’s airtime with Green Forest, My Home.
