In a Class of Her Own Episode 19 Recap
> In a Class of Her Own Recap
Following an incident that violated school rules, Feng Chengjun and Yu Le Xuan endured a severe caning on behalf of Xue Wenxi, who was disguised as Wen Bin, while Lei Zexin was also harshly punished for his role in a fight. Xue Wenxi, who received only ten strokes on her hand, watched her friends suffer with immense guilt. Yu Le Xuan cried out in pain over his ten strokes, while Lei Zexin stoically bore his thirty.
Deeply grateful, Xue Wenxi offered to apply their medication, but knowing she faints at the sight of blood, Yu Le Xuan tended to their wounds instead. Vowing to repay their kindness, Xue Wenxi took over all their chores, allowing them to rest and recover. Days later, exhausted from the extra work, Xue Wenxi catches a cold in the rain and collapses in class with a high fever.
Her concerned classmates alert Mr. Ding, who bypasses the academy doctor and moves her to a private room for treatment. While checking her pulse, he is stunned to discover that Wen Bin is a woman. When Xue Wenxi awakens, Mr. Ding confronts her. Realizing her secret is out, she confesses her real name is Wenxi and explains the life-or-death situation that forced her into the disguise, pleading with him not to expose her.
Though angry, Mr. Ding understands and warns her of the grave danger her identity poses to her family. He instructs her to act cautiously while he finds a suitable opportunity to discreetly expel her. Later, a suspicious Yu Le Xuan questions Mr. Ding about Wen Bin’s unrecorded treatment, but he is curtly dismissed. Meanwhile, at home, Xue Wenxi's mother sews a new dress, lamenting that her daughter hasn't worn girl's clothes in half a year.
Back at the academy, Principal Feng announces that the esteemed Master Wang will host this year's Archery Ceremony. Determined to impress him and secure a court recommendation, the Principal demands perfection. Fearing Xue Wenxi will be exposed under Master Wang’s scrutiny, Mr. Ding fabricates a medical report and urges her to take a leave of absence.
Feng Chengjun sees the ceremony notice and is thrilled to learn the winning team will receive one hundred nobility marks and a prize of one thousand qian. He shares the news with his friends, but Xue Wenxi remains disheartened, anxious about her impending departure and her lack of archery skills. Despite her reservations, Xue Wenxi joins her friends to practice archery, but she lacks the strength to draw the bow.
Feng Chengjun patiently guides her, and as he gives her close instruction, she feels a mix of reluctance to leave and distress over her concealed identity, believing she can't give him false hope. Overwhelmed, she turns and walks away. Feng Chengjun follows, but as he passes a large wooden rack, it collapses—a trap set by Han Shengzhi's subordinates—and severely injures his right arm.
Though gravely injured, Feng Chengjun remains undeterred and declares he will learn to shoot with his left hand. Principal Feng rushes to his side, urging him to rest, but Feng Chengjun is resolute and begins to practice relentlessly. While Han Shengzhi mocks the effort as futile, Feng Chengjun miraculously hits the bullseye with his left hand, a feat he shows Xue Wenxi to inspire her.
For the first time, Lei Zexin explicitly supports Feng Chengjun's perspective, telling Xue Wenxi she no longer has an excuse to quit. He passionately reminds her that while they cannot choose their origins, they can choose their future, and that he will always support her. Motivated by their words, Xue Wenxi resolves to stay at the academy and compete.
