For the 2022-23 figure skating season, Zhang switched to pairs skating, teaming up with Yang Yongchao. The pair debuted internationally at the 2022 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb, where they placed seventh.[4]

Two weeks prior to the 2023 World Championships in Saitama, Japan, Zhang suffered a bad fall in practice and had to get twelve stitches in her chin. At the World Championships, the pair managed to qualify for the free program segment of the competition by placing twentieth in the short program. In the free skate, the pair placed seventeenth and moved up to seventeenth-place overall.[5][4]
