The novels Hidden Love, The First Frost, and When I Meet the Moon can be said to be part of a trilogy. However, this trilogy does not have an official name from either Zhu Yi or her fans. But we think that the name “Nanwu-Yihe Universe” is an appropriate term.
Why does this novel trilogy deserve to be called the Nanwu-Yihe universe? The reason is because the stories in the three novels, which run parallel within the same timeframe, revolve around the two fictional cities of Nanwu and Yihe. Our main characters work, study, or live in one of these two cities. Sometimes they also travel to and from one of these cities.

There are several characters discussed in these three novels, which we divide into two large groups:
The first group consists of the two siblings from the Sang family: Sang Yan and his younger sister Sang Zhi. Then there is Duan Jiaxu, Sang Yan’s best friend since they were in college, who later becomes Sang Zhi’s lover. After that, there is Wen Yifan, Sang Yan’s high school friend whom he meets again when they start working, who then becomes Sang Yan’s lover.
The second group is the Fu family which consists of Fu Shize, Fu Zhengchu, and Xia Congsheng. As well as the Yun family which consists of Yun Li, her parents, and her younger brother, Yun Ye.
Hidden Love
The novel Hidden Love focuses on the life and romance of Sang Zhi and Duan Jiaxu from Sang Zhi’s time in middle school until she graduates from college. In this novel, characters like Sang Yan, Fu Zhengchu, and Xia Congsheng also appear. Wen Yifan appears in the novel version and interacts with Sang Zhi due to Duan Jiaxu’s mischief toward Sang Yan.
Hidden Love Novel Offical English Edition
The novel behind the hit Chinese drama on Netflix tells the story of Sang Zhi, a bright and spirited girl who secretly falls for Duan Jiaxu, her older brother’s warm and caring college roommate. Years after life pulls them apart, they reunite in college, where their relationship begins to change as old feelings resurface and the possibility of romance finally emerges.
The First Frost
This novel focuses on the love story of Sang Yan and Wen Yifan from their time in high school until they are working. Sang Zhi appears several times from when she was a child until she graduates from college and becomes an important part of the novel’s story. Duan Jiaxu’s name is mentioned several times but only appears at the end of the novel and in the extra chapters.
Fu Zhengchu and Fu Shize only appear in the extra chapters. Fu Shize is introduced to readers with Zhu Yi’s unique signature style, as a very handsome man who is capable of making Sang Yan and Duan Jiaxu jealous. Wen Yifan and Sang Zhi, who are already used to being alongside these two very handsome men, are made curious by Fu Shize’s attitude.
This is a great achievement because these two friends are known as campus idols while studying at Nanwu University because of their extraordinary good looks. Both were adored by female students at that time and even entered the highest ranks in the list of the most handsome students on the campus forum.
