Lian debuted in SpeXial under its English name of "Simon" on June 5, during the press conference of the group's second album, Break It Down.{{cite web|url=http://www.ettoday.net/news/20140606/364842.htm|title=SpeXial 沒有禁愛令！隊長宏正笑：所以可以跟粉絲戀愛|publisher=ETtoday星光雲|date=2014-06-06}}

Along with several of his bandmates, he participated in the 2016 costume drama series Men with Sword.{{cite web|url=http://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2017/0719/c1012-29415802.html|title=《刺客列传2》熊梓淇心生计谋朱戬查杰心生隔阂|date=July 19, 2017|website=People's Daily|language=zh}} On November 4, 2016, he dropped his studies at the National Taiwan University of Arts in order to prepare for his mandatory military service.{{cite web|url=http://ent.ltn.com.tw/news/breakingnews/1879075|title=哭哭！SpeXial晨翔當兵去|website=ent.ltn|date=November 7, 2016|access-date=November 30, 2018}} Lian continued working with the group until December 11, after a press conference for the series High 5 Basketball.

On January 25, 2017, he announced on his personal Facebook account that he had requested the termination of his contract with Comic International Productions due to "unclear accounts", and that he intended to leave SpeXial. He officially left the group on February 2, 2017. Lian was the first member to ever leave SpeXial, and was soon followed by bandmate Zhiwei, who left the group a month later, on March 23.
