Granting You a Dreamlike Life Episode 15 Recap
> Granting You a Dreamlike Life Recap
After leaving the Hong family villa, Tianying encountered Xu Xingcheng, who offered to find other ways to help her meet Luo Fusheng if she would only acknowledge him. However, Tianying remained cold, expressing her dislike for his profession as a police officer before leaving. Tianying then went to buy "shengjian" for Luo Fusheng, only to find the shop closed. A child approached her, claiming that Luo Fusheng had changed their meeting time to 12 PM.
Believing this, Tianying hurried back to the Hong family villa to inform Luo Fusheng about the closed shop and the new meeting time, but she was met at the gate by Hong Lan. Hong Lan sternly warned Tianying to stop bothering Luo Fusheng. She then revealed that Xu Xingcheng had become a police officer solely to save Tianying, making a significant compromise with his father. Tianying was stunned by this revelation, realizing she had severely misunderstood Xu Xingcheng all along.
What Tianying didn't know was that Hong Lan's words were not an accidental leak but a pre-arranged trick with Xu Xingcheng, part of his elaborate plan to prevent Tianying from meeting Luo Fusheng. Meanwhile, Luo Fusheng, still at the villa, grew increasingly anxious as Tianying failed to arrive at their agreed time. Feeling immense guilt, Tianying went to find Xu Xingcheng, burdened by her past unfair judgment of him.
Xu Xingcheng, however, reassured her, stating that he willingly chose his path. He proclaimed his ambition to be an exemplary police officer, committed to upholding justice, fighting evil, and ushering in a new era for Dongjiang. Tianying, touched by his sincerity, smiled. Worried by Tianying's absence, Luo Fusheng dispatched Luo Cheng to find her. Luo Cheng soon spotted Tianying with Xu Xingcheng.
Reluctant to distress Luo Fusheng, Luo Cheng fabricated a story, telling his master that Tianying couldn't come because of an impromptu performance at the theater. Xu Xingcheng’s manipulations continued. He visited Luo Cheng under the pretense of checking on his health, bringing medicine. During their conversation, he subtly extracted the actual time of Luo Fusheng and Tianying's next planned meeting: 1 PM the following day.
Immediately after, Xu Xingcheng met with Hong Lan, informing her of Luo Fusheng and Tianying's upcoming meeting. He proposed an alliance against them, assuring her his new plan would be strategic and non-violent, not like their past failed attempts. Hong Lan was intrigued. Later, Tianying, influenced by her changed perception of Xu Xingcheng, called him to arrange a meeting at the Niu Ji "shengjian" shop.
When Xu Xingcheng arrived early, he discovered a local gangster named Hu Qi and his gang extorting protection money from the shop owner. Hu Qi, emboldened by bribing local police officers, brazenly boasted of his control over the area and threatened to destroy the shop. When other police officers, including a corrupt officer named Jia Dong, arrived, Xu Xingcheng furiously exposed Jia Dong's complicity in the bribery, dismissing him on the spot.
He then personally confronted Hu Qi, ordering the remaining officers to make arrests. As the officers hesitated, the local citizens, inspired by Xu Xingcheng's bravery, rallied to his side, helping to drive off Hu Qi's gang. From a hidden vantage point, Tianying witnessed the entire scene. Her earlier negative views of the police and Xu Xingcheng vanished, as she saw his unwavering commitment to justice, realizing he hadn't changed his true self.
Her initial intention to have Xu Xingcheng deliver the "shengjian" to Luo Fusheng dissolved; instead, she invited Xu Xingcheng to share the meal with her. They officially reconciled. At the Hong family villa, Hong Lan continued to dote on a recuperating Luo Fusheng. Though he expressed his discomfort with the constant pampering and stated his injuries were almost healed, Hong Lan remained insistent. Xu Xingcheng arrived for a visit, bringing "shengjian" that he falsely claimed Tianying had sent.
He refused to confirm Luo Fusheng's recovery, playfully stating he was no longer a doctor. He then hinted at a "wonderful big plan" he was orchestrating, keeping the details secret from Luo Fusheng. Luo Fusheng, while eating the "shengjian", found himself missing Tianying and was suspicious of Xu Xingcheng's cryptic remarks. After leaving Luo Fusheng, Xu Xingcheng further elaborated his grand scheme to Hong Lan, confirming that it would lead to Luo Fusheng giving up on Tianying completely.
Hong Lan was delighted. That evening, Tianying received a letter from Xu Xingcheng, inviting her to meet at the Huanyi Cafe at 10 AM the next day for a unique and exciting experience. A sweet smile spread across her face. The following morning, as Hong Lan prepared breakfast for Luo Fusheng, she accidentally scalded her hand. Stubbornly, she refused any medicine, intending to keep the visible scar as proof of her devotion to Luo Fusheng.
Just then, Lin Qikai arrived to discuss a movie project, noticing Hong Lan's burnt hand and showing concern. Despite her desire to act, Hong Lan declared she would prioritize caring for Luo Fusheng until he fully recovered. Observing her unwavering dedication, Lin Qikai suggested a solution: Luo Fusheng could accompany her to film sets as her agent. Hong Lan enthusiastically agreed, much to Luo Fusheng's obvious displeasure. Later, Xu Xingcheng brought Tianying and his sister Xu Xingyuan to a cinema.
During the film, Xu Xingcheng dramatically took the stage, holding a bouquet of flowers, and projected a heartfelt confession onto the cinema screen for Tianying. He spoke of his love for her since their first meeting, praising her intelligence, kindness, and beauty, and how she brought color to his life. He concluded by asking her to be with him forever. The audience was visibly moved, erupting in cheers for them to "get together."
Tianying, swept up in the emotion and grand gesture, accepted his proposal and embraced him. As the house lights came up, Tianying saw Hong Lan and a visibly distraught Luo Fusheng sitting in the audience. Luo Fusheng, heartbroken, immediately ran out of the cinema.
Tianying, basking in the glow of her newfound love, remained oblivious that this entire romantic proposal was a cruel, meticulously staged setup by Xu Xingcheng and Hong Lan to shatter Luo Fusheng's hopes and force him to abandon Tianying once and for all.
