Fell Upon Me Episode 15 Recap
> Fell Upon Me Recap
An Zhenzhen and Jiangling spent joyful moments together, starting at a claw machine where An Zhenzhen grew frustrated with the rigged game. They then stumbled upon a "Noodle Champion Challenge," and An Zhenzhen eagerly signed Jiangling up, declaring him "the chosen one." To her delight, he won the contest. As they walked home, Jiangling's aunt spotted them.
Overjoyed to see An Zhenzhen, she insisted she come inside, remarking on how much happier Jiangling had been since An Zhenzhen's return, a welcome change from his usual quiet and gloomy disposition. While his aunt prepared a meal, she sent them up to Jiangling's room. In his room, An Zhenzhen browsed his many books and found a familiar-looking manuscript Jiangling had started but not finished. After reading a passage aloud, she praised his talent and urged him to continue writing.
Jiangling modestly replied that he prefers to take things slowly. Later that night, unable to sleep, An Zhenzhen messaged Jiangling, suggesting they watch the sunrise. They agreed to meet early the next morning. An Zhenzhen left a note for her mother and met up with Jiangling. They rushed to a viewpoint, arriving just in time to see the beautiful layers of the rising sun. As they watched, Jiangling asked An Zhenzhen about her dreams.
Inspired by his passion for writing, she decided she wanted to become an editor—specifically, his editor, to chase him for manuscripts and keep him on schedule. They also reminisced about their first meeting. Jiangling recounted his inner turmoil from that time: feeling a sense of mission when he found her dropped name tag, his panic when she offered him noodles, and his initial instinct to reject her.
He confessed that her persistent presence gradually broke down his defenses and brought happiness into his life. With high school graduation nearing, their teacher announced that students could bring phones to school for two days to take keepsake photos. Their classmate, Qi Shuo, revealed he had a special plan for the class photo. On the day, during the group picture, Qi Shuo instructed everyone to toss something in the air.
Due to height arrangements, the teacher moved An Zhenzhen to stand next to Jiangling. As the photo was taken, the students threw shimmering golden powder into the air, creating a magical moment. The story flashes forward to 2024. An older Jiangling looks at the graduation photo and is suddenly overcome by dizziness as he's pulled into a vivid nightmare.
The dream is a rush of memories: the "cross-time calls" that convinced An Zhenzhen of her fated death before the college entrance exam, and a harrowing image of her jumping from a building. He recalled his desperate fight against this fate, writing a novel to be her savior.
He remembered the trouble that arose when his novel was copied, leading to rumors that he and An Zhenzhen were dating, fueled by a misunderstanding of the character for "Zhen" in their names. He saw her as a fading star burning herself out and himself as a glacier that her warmth had finally touched. In the dream, he reaffirmed his vow to always believe in and save her, no matter the crisis.
Old Jiang jolts awake, relieved it was only a nightmare and affirming that the story they wrote together is the real one. He reassures himself by recalling Stephen Hawking's theory that an invisible energy in the universe prevents timelines from being altered, meaning their two realities cannot influence each other.
