I've Fallen For You Episode 19 Recap
> I've Fallen For You Recap
Sanqi informed everyone that the Young Lord, whom she recognized as her childhood brother, was taking her back to the capital. She expressed sadness at leaving Southern City, particularly its roast pigeon. Zhao Cuo was disheartened by Sanqi's decision to marry He Zhen, feeling superfluous. Mr. Bai, witnessing Zhao Cuo's despair, encouraged him not to give up on love, emphasizing that perseverance is key. Though initially hesitant, Zhao Cuo resolved to fight for Sanqi.
Mr. Bai then devised a plan: steal Sanqi's name ring, essential for marriage in Taoyuan City, to prevent the wedding. He engaged He Zhen in an extended conversation, pretending to be a suitor for He Zhen's sister, Jin Yan, peppering him with questions about Jin Yan's preferences (like seeded versus seedless grapes, and whether she still owned a dog named Lingdang) to distract him. Meanwhile, Zhao Cuo attempted to find Sanqi's ring in He Zhen's room.
However, Sanqi, intoxicated, was already there. Zhao Cuo found her and scolded her for being in a man's room late at night, deeming it dangerous. As He Zhen approached, they hid. He Zhen entered, finding Sanqi in his bed. Quickly thinking, Sanqi feigned drunkenness, claiming sadness over leaving Southern City made her unable to sleep and that his bed was exceptionally comfortable.
To get him to leave, she pretended she could only sleep with her own pillow and asked him to retrieve it. After He Zhen left, Zhao Cuo confronted Sanqi, who confessed she was trying to retrieve her name ring because she didn't want to leave, marry He Zhen, or for him to possess the ring. Zhao Cuo then told her to rest.
Zhao Cuo later discussed Sanqi's departure with Wet Nurse Ling, who wisely advised that sometimes letting go is a form of possession. Though sad, Zhao Cuo accepted the situation, wishing to make Sanqi happy one last time before she left. He decided to celebrate her birthday the next day and pray for her happiness. That night, Zhao Cuo meticulously sewed a small cloth bag for Sanqi, embroidering a crude grimace totem doll onto it to cover a hole.
His servant, Li Jia, found the doll amusingly bad but understood Zhao Cuo's deep feelings. Sanqi discovered the bag and doll; she and Jin Yan teased Zhao Cuo about its ugliness, but Sanqi told him not to give her such "ugly things" in the future. For Sanqi's birthday, He Zhen had grander plans. He surprised her with a spectacular fireworks display in the courtyard. Then, to her astonishment, he revealed he had rented the entire Southern City market for her.
They strolled through the deserted market. He Zhen led her to a secluded spot where he recreated a magical firefly-lit night scene from eight years prior. This was his eighth gift, symbolizing his desire to compensate for his eight years of absence. He confessed his constant thoughts of her, expressed his joy at their reunion, vowed never to be absent again, and invited her to return to the capital with him the next day to make up for lost time.
Sanqi agreed. As a final gesture, He Zhen placed the name ring on Sanqi's hand, calling her "Young Lady" and asking for her guidance. Sanqi remembered a childhood promise where her little brother vowed to show her a sky full of fireworks; He Zhen had fulfilled that promise.
