Love in Time Episode 24 (Ending) Recap
> Love in Time Recap
Following their reconciliation, Lu Boyan and Su Jianan's parents expressed immense relief and joy. To celebrate their renewed bond, the couple decided to hold another wedding—a grand "century wedding" that would show the world the strength of their relationship. However, with Su Jianan still filming her movie adaptation and Lu Boyan's demanding schedule, they decided to postpone the event. Despite the delay, Lu Boyan grew impatient.
He frequently called Su Jianan, affectionately calling her his "Big Radish," and told her how much he missed her. Su Jianan assured him she missed him every moment and would return as soon as her scenes were finished. Eager for her to come home, Lu Boyan had already selected wedding dresses and cleared his schedule for an entire month in anticipation. Su Jianan playfully told him to wait for her obediently. Eventually, Lu Boyan could wait no longer.
He instructed Shen Yuechuan to prepare the car to drive to the film set, dismissing Shen Yuechuan's advice that Su Jianan would be home in a few days anyway. During the journey, the car had to make a sudden emergency stop to avoid a playful child on the road, causing Lu Boyan to hit his head. When he regained consciousness, he had lost his memory of the past few months. Meanwhile, Su Jianan's filming finally wrapped up.
Declining an invitation to the wrap party, her only thought was to return home to Lu Boyan. Upon arriving, she was met by the butler, Xu Bo, who informed her that Lu Boyan had suffered a head injury and developed amnesia. Finding the situation reminiscent of a "third-rate novel," Su Jianan believed Lu Boyan was faking it.
She confronted him, and he acted just as he had when they first lived together, scolding her for returning late and demanding she follow the "Lu family rules." He accused her of breaking their contract by being overly flirtatious with men at a bar, an incident where she had gone for writing inspiration. Recognizing this as a re-enactment of their early days, Su Jianan decided to play along, determined to see how long he could maintain the charade.
Continuing the act, Su Jianan went to Lu Boyan’s room, only to be sternly told off for entering without permission. When she pointed out that her belongings were gone and questioned how long he planned to keep up the pretense, he feigned ignorance and said he just wanted to rest. Exasperated, Su Jianan began loudly "writing" a dramatic scene outside his door, mimicking the very behavior he had once criticized.
Annoyed by the noise, Lu Boyan eventually emerged, carried her back to her room, and tried to quiet her by offering her a sleep mask. Su Jianan clung to him, playfully claiming her hands were "stuck with glue" and that as an "old married couple," they should sleep together. The next morning, waking up in his bed, she continued to tease him, challenging their "no physical contact" rule and even suggesting a striptease.
Overwhelmed, Lu Boyan fled, an act so out of character it shocked Xu Bo. Su Jianan confessed her growing unease to her friends Luo Xiaoxi and Jiang Shaokai, admitting she now wondered if Lu Boyan's amnesia was real. Luo Xiaoxi speculated that Lu Boyan was feeling neglected and simply trying to get her attention. She suggested they test him by re-enacting a past event: the time Lu Boyan had misunderstood her discussing a script with Jiang Shaokai.
Jiang Shaokai was reluctant, fearing Lu Boyan's retaliation, but was outvoted. Luo Xiaoxi had Su Jianan and Jiang Shaokai pose intimately for a photo, which Su Jianan then posted online. Lu Boyan's immediate "like" confirmed he was following the old pattern. Moments later, he arrived, demanding Su Jianan return home. Jiang Shaokai and Luo Xiaoxi feigned surprise at her marriage, dramatically questioning if she had been forced. Asserting his rights as her husband, Lu Boyan dragged Su Jianan away.
In the car, he ordered her to keep her distance from Jiang Shaokai. She replied provocatively by offering him a kiss, declaring she knew he was faking. He reacted with feigned shock, telling her he was disappointed by her casualness. The charade soon ended when a doctor's examination revealed that Lu Boyan had indeed suffered a head injury and was experiencing intermittent amnesia, having lost his memory of the recent months. The news devastated Su Jianan.
Her friends tried to comfort her, with Luo Xiaoxi suggesting she could win him back, like in the movie "100th First Love". Lu Boyan's mother also expressed her sorrow, admitting that even the best doctors had been unable to help and that he would have to recover on his own. She reassured Su Jianan that they were still a family, no matter what. Undeterred, Su Jianan began caring for Lu Boyan.
She brought him lunch at his office, where he was meeting with Yunyun, a talented new artist. Su Jianan politely interrupted to give Lu Boyan porridge, reminding him to eat on time for his stomach's sake. Later, she planned a family dinner, but Shen Yuechuan informed her that Yunyun had invited Lu Boyan to the seaside plaza and he wouldn't be coming home. Without hesitation, Su Jianan rushed to the plaza. There, she found an elaborately staged performance.
Dancers dressed as Ultraman and a little monster re-enacted cherished moments from her and Lu Boyan's past: their squabbles over the remote, their dance at the Su family's anniversary gala, her providing him light during an escape room game, his comforting her through period cramps, him giving her candy with a kiss after she took bitter medicine, and their game of hide-and-seek to overcome her fear of the dark.
As the performance concluded, Lu Boyan appeared amidst a sea of flowers and lights, surrounded by their friends and family. He revealed that the amnesia had been an act—an elaborate rehearsal for his proposal, explaining that a complete wedding must begin with one. Standing in a heart-shaped display of candles, Su Jianan confessed she had loved him since junior high. Lu Boyan then knelt, presented a sparkling ring, and asked her to marry him.
With tears of joy, Su Jianan accepted, and they shared a sweet kiss under the stars, showered with the blessings of their loved ones. In the happy days that followed, various storylines resolved. Xuanxuan, a promising author, presented her work to President Du. Han Ruoxi decided to leave the company, and Shen Yuechuan, inspired by her courage to start anew, resigned to accompany her to the US. At an awards ceremony, Luo Xiaoxi won "Best Comedy Newcomer."
Watching from home, Jiang Shaokai proudly declared, "That's my wife!" In her speech, Luo Xiaoxi tearfully thanked Jiang Shaokai, her "boyfriend and future husband," for his unwavering support. Meanwhile, their parents joyfully discussed future grandchildren. The story concluded with Su Jianan playfully reading from their new "contract," which included rules that Lu Boyan must report everything to her, be available on demand, and tell her "I love you" every day. When asked about the contract's term, they both declared in unison: "A lifetime."
