## **Zichuan S01 - Hidden Story** Subbed by ***Yun*** **Look, 2025 is the year that I will sub Season 1 before Season 2 comes out. This is one of my New Year's resolutions which I'll keep, surely...** Before you say anything about reupload, I made changes to terms and names for consistency to prepare for the main series, and some some fixes here and there. Names are a tricky one, the author likes to use japanese and western names randomly, but then also kind of not. For example, the demon princess looks western and has a western sounding name 卡丹(Ka Dan): Cardin, but the novel mentions the 卡(Ka) clan, so it isn't a western name. Yes, this time I actually looked at the novel. In the end it's so unclear, so cba I'll still just write it out how it's said in chinese for mostly everything. Planning to upload the complete season 1 as a whole, currently at 5/42.
