Blood River 暗河傳 (Ànhé Zhuàn* direct translation is Tales of Dark River) is a 38-episode Chinese wuxia series which premiered on October 20, 2025. It is adapted from the webnovel of the same name by Zhou Mu Nan 周木楠. Two of the author’s other novels in the same series have already been adapted into drama series previously – Dashing Youth 少年白馬醉春風 in 2024 (prequel to Blood River), and The Blood of Youth 少年歌行 in 2022 (sequel to Blood River). There is also another sequel The Blood of Youth Season 2 少年歌行之南明離火 yet to come.
* Note: 傳 here is a noun, so it should be pronounced as zhuàn, NOT chuán! I’ve seen a few sites romanized the Chinese title as Anhe Chuan which is incorrect.
