Adapted from the novel of the same name by Sideways Light Cold, Yang Zi's new drama The Hairpin (originally titled The Green Hairpin Row) is set in the Tang Dynasty and tells the coming-of-age story of genius goddess detective Huang Zixian, who pursues the truth through her wits and courage after her family's demise. The drama, which completed filming in 2020, was stalled due to problems with the original lead actor, and was later renamed and aired on April 20, 2025 after Peng Guanying took over the male lead role through AI technology, incorporating details of historical examinations and showcasing Huang Zixia's expertise. Yang Zi deeply researched the criminal and prison system of the Tang Dynasty and polished the details, with high quality episodes, which are now exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video, gaining attention.

Another new drama “Tree of Life” was officially announced on April 30, 2025. Yang Zi's first challenge for a melodramatic role as a policewoman who patrols the mountains with excellent marksmanship, blending character growth and environmental protection themes to show the power of women and the glory of humanity, is now being filmed.

The pending drama “Family Business” was wrapped on April 22, 2025, and entered post-production, with Yang Zi's richly layered performance from a young girl to a mature woman, and is expected to be aired in 2025. As a sequel to “National Color Fang Hua”, it continues the ancient costume legend style, with Yang Zi as He Weifang, involving topics such as business and industrial salvation, with director Ding Ziguang working with screenwriter Zhang Iris Ang, and is expected to be aired in 2026.
