2016-2017: Girl group contest and CH2
In 2016, she participated in a girl group Battle of Battles contest that offered a 2000 RMB salary with free accommodation and meals and was voted the most popular contestant. She, along with 10 other contestants, went on to become a trainee. In 2017, eight of the contestants formed the girl group CH2. However, due to a lack of training and Wenlan Culture's gaming background, Yang's promotions mostly involved video games.

In April, Yang and three other members of CH2 were chosen to represent Wenlan Culture on the reality girl group survival show Produce 101 which aired from April 21 to June 23, 2018 on Tencent Video. She placed third with a total of 138,560,781 votes.
