Granting You a Dreamlike Life Episode 11 Recap
> Granting You a Dreamlike Life Recap
Tianying, having knelt all night, collapsed from exhaustion and fainted. Her master, Jiu Suihong, panicked and urgently instructed his disciples to find a doctor. As they rushed out, they discovered Xu Xingcheng, who had been waiting outside all night. Upon hearing of Tianying's illness, Xu Xingcheng quickly entered, offering his medical assistance. Tianci, Tianying's brother, was reluctant to allow Xu Xingcheng near her, blaming him for Tianying's current state.
However, seeing Xu Xingcheng's earnest plea, Jiu Suihong permitted him to examine Tianying. Xu Xingcheng diagnosed Tianying with a severe cold, attributing it to her lack of rest and exposure to heavy rain. He proudly mentioned his knowledge of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine, assuring them he was the closest doctor available. After prescribing medicine, Jiu Suihong, with a stern face, asked Tianci to escort Xu Xingcheng out.
Xu Xingcheng, desperate to stay, begged Tianci, who mocked him, saying he would reveal Xu Xingcheng's true nature to Tianying one day. Later, Tianying regained consciousness. Jiu Suihong lovingly fed her the medicine, expressing his concern that she was naive and easily deceived in the complex world of Dongjiang. Tianci also chastised her, asking why she would risk her life for pride.
Tianying, pale but resolute, insisted that dignity and freedom were more important than life itself, disagreeing with Tianci's pragmatic view. Despite her brother's continued teasing about her childhood fear of medicine, Tianying vowed to drink it without needing candy as a reward. Meanwhile, Lin Qikai visited Luo Fusheng and noticed a custom-made cake figurine on Luo Fusheng's table.
Lin Qikai teased him about the doll, which strikingly resembled Tianying in her opera costume, but Luo Fusheng dismissed it as a personal hobby. That evening, Xu Xingcheng secretly climbed through Tianying's window. Tianying was surprised to see him and concerned for his safety. He revealed that he had been the one to diagnose her and prescribe her medicine that morning, and had also waited outside all night in the rain, which worried her.
Checking her knees, Xu Xingcheng found them red and swollen from kneeling. He criticized Jiu Suihong's traditional methods and restrictive thinking, advocating for women's freedom, citing examples from the French Revolution. Tianying was intrigued by his words. As Xu Xingcheng left through the window, Tianci, who had been secretly watching, simmered with jealousy. Xu Xingcheng later met Hong Lan, informing her that he hadn't found any direct clues regarding the attempt on Luo Fusheng's life.
Hong Lan then shifted the conversation to Tianying, directly asking Xu Xingcheng if he liked her. He candidly admitted his feelings. Hong Lan then proposed a scheme: she would help Xu Xingcheng win Tianying's heart, in exchange for him telling Tianying to stay away from Luo Fusheng, thereby clearing the way for her own pursuit of Luo Fusheng. Xu Xingcheng, finding her plan amusing, agreed.
Back at the opera troupe, Tianying confronted Tianci, asking why he had lied about finding her medicine prescription after searching all over Dongjiang when it was actually Xu Xingcheng's. Tianci angrily stated he didn't want her associating with a "hypocrite" like Xu Xingcheng, accusing Xu Xingcheng of orchestrating her misfortune for his own gain, comparing him to a "weasel giving Happy New Year greetings to a chicken."
Tianying, believing her brother was simply worried about her, didn't press the issue and agreed to go with him to the temple to pray for peace. That night, Luo Fusheng went to the theater, hoping to see Tianying perform, but was disappointed to learn she was not on stage due to her illness. The next day, Tianci and Tianying visited the temple.
Tianying went to draw a lot but did not return, causing Tianci to become anxious and realize she was missing. With Tianying gone, Jiu Suihong was forced to let Tianci perform in her stead. On stage, Tianci's performance was a disaster. His skills were clearly inferior to Tianying's, leading to boos and demands for refunds from the audience. Tianci was severely disheartened by his failure, and Jiu Suihong acknowledged that Tianying was indeed unique and irreplaceable.
Meanwhile, Tianying woke up in a car, realizing she had been kidnapped by two men. She struggled fiercely, but the kidnappers eventually subdued her and took her to an abandoned warehouse. They then reported back to Hong Lan, confirming that the kidnapping was her plan to set up Xu Xingcheng's "heroic rescue" and win Tianying's affection. Luo Fusheng, still concerned about Hong Lan's possible mistreatment of Tianying, bought a cake to appease her.
Upon arriving at her house, he overheard Hong Lan boasting to her maid, Xiaoqing, about kidnapping Tianying and planning for Xu Xingcheng to "heroically rescue the beauty," ensuring Tianying would fall for him. Enraged, Luo Fusheng confronted Hong Lan, demanding to know Tianying's whereabouts. When Hong Lan stubbornly refused to tell him, Luo Fusheng cornered Xiaoqing, threatening severe consequences for her and Hong Lan if Tianying was harmed. Terrified, Xiaoqing revealed that Miss Tianying was hidden in an old warehouse deep in Azalea Mountain.
