Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of the Chinese novel series Hidden Love by Zhu Yi. The novel that inspired the hit Chinese drama—streaming on Netflix! A sweet story about a high school crush that might just become a real chance at romance.
When Sang Zhi was thirteen, she fell in love with an older boy named Duan Jiaxu. He was a typical teen, careless and easygoing, and came over every afternoon to play video games with her older brother. She said nothing, keeping her feelings secret, but couldn’t help the blush that appeared every time they crossed paths. Sang Zhi was content just watching him from the background, accepting that her crush would never turn into something more. But years later, Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu are reunited. Could this high school crush become a true romance?
Hidden Love (Novel) Vol. 1 will be released in August 2026 for $19.99 USA / $26.99 CAN, with the series available in large-trim paperback editions. Ebook editions will also be available on digital platforms.
