Love Is an Accident Episode 12 Recap
> Love Is an Accident Recap
Upon seeing Jingzhao, Jingling expressed concern for his well-being. Jingzhao, though mildly poisoned, assured him he felt fine as long as Chuyue was with him, then playfully warned his brother not to stare at his wife. Jingling offered to find Doctor Luo, and despite Jingzhao's refusal, Chuyue insisted, prompting Jingling to promise he would. Meanwhile, rumors spread through Lingxiao Yard that An Jingzhao had been afflicted with an incurable poison, though some suspected he was faking, given his cunning reputation.
The next day, a doctor examined Jingzhao and confirmed that while he was conscious, the poison remained in his system, leaving him weak, prone to drowsiness, and occasional fainting spells. He stressed that the next few days were critical and required regular medication. Chuyang complained that people were taking advantage of him while his brother-in-law was unconscious. When Jingzhao awoke, he initially refused his medicine from Donghua, but relented after Chuyang flattered him with compliments.
Upon Chuyue's return, Jingzhao insisted she feed him the medicine, and Chuyue, treating him as a patient, obliged. Elsewhere, Zhou Wei found Bai Zhi venting her frustrations. He proposed a plan for her to become Jingzhao's concubine: since Fengnuan Pavilion is renowned for its detoxification skills, if Bai Zhi could identify and cure Jingzhao's poison, she would be his savior.
Zhou Wei would then formally propose the marriage to the Lord on her behalf, an idea that intrigued Bai Zhi, who only wished to be with Jingzhao, regardless of her title. Hoping to boost Jingzhao’s immunity, Chuyue prepared porridge for him. Jingzhao asked what else could improve his condition, and Chuyue mentioned that a good mood and sufficient sleep were also vital. Their conversation was interrupted by Bai Zhi's arrival.
Jingzhao angrily ordered her to leave, stating that he now belonged to Chuyue and would not let any other woman touch him, especially after Bai Zhi's past attempts to harm Chuyue. Bai Zhi insisted she was only there to treat his dangerous condition. At Chuyue's urging, Jingzhao reluctantly allowed the examination. Bai Zhi confirmed the poison was life-threatening and required immediate treatment, though she admitted to not having a cure yet.
Seizing the opportunity, Jingzhao pulled Chuyue close, claiming that only her constant presence could give him the good mood and sleep he needed to recover, much to Chuyue’s exasperation as she realized he was manipulating her again. Later, Bai Zhi sent a message to her master confirming the severity of Jingzhao's poisoning. Unbeknownst to them, Zhou Wei was plotting to frame Jingzhao.
He commissioned a forger to replicate the handwriting of Zhu Maoqing, Master of Zhuyin Pavilion, planning to use it to steal martial arts manuals and pin the crime on Jingzhao, thereby removing a "threat" and helping his own master rise. Later, Chuyue's maid, Taoyun, reported that Chuyang was in the backyard, attracting a crowd of disciples while enthusiastically selling various items. Taoyun also mentioned that Jingling had visited with news while Chuyue was resting.
Believing it concerned Doctor Luo, Chuyue went to find him. Chuyue found Jingling saddened that he couldn't deliver fresh lychee syrup to his mother, who was confined to the West Courtyard by their father ten years ago and whom he could only visit once a month. Hearing of this, Chuyue immediately suggested they rescue her. Moved, Jingling told Chuyue she was the first person not to pity or look down on him for his family's situation.
As a token of gratitude, he gave her a small, carved figurine of herself. Chuyue was delighted, joking that it was a "beauty-filtered" version of her. Chuyang then arrived, attempting to sell Jingling a "limited edition ballpoint pen." Chuyue stopped him, insisting Jingling take it for free. Jingzhao then appeared, telling Jingling he could have anything he wanted. To get him to leave, he demanded Chuyue call him "Hubby." Considering his fragile health, she reluctantly complied.
Later, Donghua urgently reported that Chuyue and Chuyang had been abducted on Opera Street by ruffians after Chuyang had stepped in to protect a pair of street performers. Ignoring his own poor health, Jingzhao rushed to their rescue. He offered to spare the ruffians if they released his family. The leader, learning his identity, challenged Jingzhao to a duel for the hostages' freedom.
Despite Donghua’s pleas to conserve his strength, Jingzhao accepted and, without using his internal energy, swiftly defeated the thugs before carrying Chuyue back to the manor. Upon his return, Jingzhao received a challenge letter from Zhu Maoqing for a duel on Mount Lingxiu. Donghua suspected it was a trap by Zhou Wei, but Jingzhao was determined to go, only to cough up blood moments later.
The doctor gave a grave diagnosis: the poison was too strong for the medicine, and his life was in danger. As Doctor Luo was still in the mountains, Jingling and Donghua left to search for him. To prevent Jingzhao from attending the duel, Chuyue planned to give him a sleeping drug. However, Jingzhao saw through her plan and tricked her into consuming the drug herself with a kiss before leaving for Mount Lingxiu.
When Chuyue awoke, she realized she'd been outsmarted and rushed after Jingzhao, donning male attire as women were forbidden on Mount Lingxiu. There, she met Bai Zhi, who confirmed she still had no cure for the rare poison. At the dueling ground, Jingzhao faced Zhu Maoqing and escalated the fight by using a hidden weapon, claiming his opponent was a spy. As Jingzhao prepared a final, powerful blow, Chuyue ran between them, begging him to stop.
To avoid harming her, Jingzhao forcibly retracted his attack, causing a severe internal backlash that made him collapse, coughing up more blood. Jingling returned, having successfully found Doctor Luo. After examining Jingzhao, the doctor confirmed that while most of the poison had been expelled, the rest was spreading rapidly. The only cure was the extremely rare Spirit Pearl Grass from the treacherous Magic Flower Valley.
The Valley Lord was known to be cruel, and the entrance was sealed by a complex stone mechanism that would release poison gas if not opened within a set time. Donghua’s attempt to enter failed, and he returned poisoned. Undeterred, Chuyue announced she would go herself. Despite Chuyang's objections, he grabbed his bag and followed her. At the stone gate, Chuyue's attempt to open it using the known method failed.
Chuyang noticed that the red lion carving was far more worn than the green ones, leading him to deduce the Valley Lord might be colorblind and had publicized an incorrect sequence. He proposed a new code: "green-red-yellow-red-red." They tried it, and the gate opened. As they stepped inside, they were immediately trapped and hoisted into the air as a voice boomed, demanding to know who dared to enter the forbidden grounds of Magic Flower Valley.
