In a Class of Her Own Episode 11 Recap
> In a Class of Her Own Recap
Having failed to find any records of the wanted men in the Diligence Pavilion, Yu Lexuan and Lei Zexin regroup. Lei Zexin theorizes that the records might be in the Interrogation Hall, as the men would have been expelled for violating academy rules. They agree to search the hall that night under the guise of cleaning. Afterward, Lei Zexin, curious about his portrayal, asks Yu Lexuan for a copy of Xue Wenxi's novel, "Where Love Begins".
As they are discussing it, Principal Feng unexpectedly arrives. To avert trouble, Yu Lexuan claims he just confiscated the novels from other students, a quick-thinking lie that the Principal praises. Principal Feng then announces a strict ban on reading such novels until he can personally review them to determine their suitability for students. Meanwhile, Xue Wenxi receives a distressing letter from her younger brother.
He details his recent illness and the soaring cost of medicine, explaining that the money she sent was insufficient. To make matters worse, their mother has worked herself to the point of collapse trying to cover the expenses and stubbornly refuses to rest. Deeply troubled, Xue Wenxi knows she must send money home immediately. She approaches Yu Lexuan for help, deciding to take the risk of writing novels within the academy.
Understanding her desperation, Yu Lexuan gives her a 500-wen advance, agreeing to split the profits from future sales. Xue Wenxi’s fears are soon amplified when a student, Mo Xiaohuan, is severely caned by Mr. Li for merely being caught copying "Where Love Begins". The harsh punishment makes Xue Wenxi realize the dire consequences she would face if discovered as the author. That night, Yu Lexuan and Lei Zexin proceed with their plan, "cleaning" the Interrogation Hall.
Mr. Li, initially suspicious of their sudden diligence, leaves and returns later to check on them, but his doubts are dispelled when he finds them still hard at work. During their ruse, they successfully locate old disciplinary records, discovering that Lei Zexin's brother, Lei Zexun, was expelled in Hong De Year 30, and another wanted man, Qin Beichuan, fled to the state of Gui after his expulsion in Hong De Year 24.
They also find an entry for Ke Shijun from Lin Village. Believing Feng Chengjun and Lei Zexin are asleep, Xue Wenxi secretly stays up to write her novel, unaware that both are feigning sleep, eager for a chance to read her new work. The next morning, Lei Zexin confronts her, demanding she kill off Feng Chengjun’s character by having him get hit by a cow.
Shortly after, Feng Chengjun advises her to write about grander themes like freedom and equality rather than just romance. Amused and frustrated, Xue Wenxi retorts that she writes for sales, not lofty ideals. To resolve their creative dispute, she suggests they each write their own version of the story, which she will then combine. Separately, the renowned performer Mu Xiaoman asks Yu Lexuan to bring Wen Bin (Xue Wenxi's male identity) to her performance at Cai Yun House.
Yu Lexuan agrees on the condition that Mu Xiaoman writes a promotional post for Wen Bin’s novel. At the same time, the student council president, Han Shengzhi, learns that a student is secretly writing and circulating novels on campus. He orders a comprehensive search of all dormitories, which leads to the discovery of three novels in Xue Wenxi’s room. The books are confiscated and delivered to Principal Feng, setting the stage for a tense confrontation.
