Love is Sweet Episode 9 Recap
> Love is Sweet Recap
A masked assailant suddenly snatched Jiang Jun's bag. Desperate to preserve the evidence, she chased after him but ended up injuring her hand and breaking her phone during the struggle. Unable to reach Jiang Jun, Yuan Shuai grew increasingly frantic. Just as his anxiety peaked, he spotted her limping downstairs and rushed to her aid. Back at home, Yuan Shuai carefully tended to Jiang Jun's injuries. After hearing her account, he was both exasperated and heartbroken.
He ordered her to rest at home and stay out of the matter to avoid further retaliation from Wan Shan. However, Jiang Jun, who had promised Tang Xin her help, refused to back down. Even though Yuan Shuai assured her he would handle it, she stubbornly insisted on finding the evidence herself and limped out of his apartment. Meanwhile, Xu Li went to Li Xiaochuan's school to look for her long-absent crush.
Faced with the overwhelming crowd, she wandered around aimlessly—only to discover that Xiaochuan was actually a campus heartthrob with a huge reputation. After paying a "tip" to locate him, Xu Li saw his messy desk and couldn’t resist tidying up while he stepped away. But her mood soured when she noticed his plain contact name for her and a flirtatious text from someone else. Furious, she stormed out and headed straight to Jiang Jun’s place for comfort.
As the two best friends vented, Xu Li poured out her heart about her shattered romantic illusions. To cheer her up, Jiang Jun took her out for a hearty meal. Back at the office, Yuan Shuai listened as Su Chang analyzed the data. The two were trying to identify the most promising candidate within Wanxing Entertainment. After careful consideration, Yuan Shuai settled on Luo Sheng, Wan Shan’s protégé, planning to exploit his ambition to replace Wan Shan.
Later, Su Chang presented Jiang Jun’s stolen phone, which had been recovered. Yuan Shuai immediately arranged for its data to be restored. At a restaurant, Wan Shan sat across from Du Lei, smugly mocking Jiang Jun’s futile attempts to bring him down. But Du Lei countered sharply, hinting that Jiang Jun might be more formidable than Wan Shan realized, and explicitly warned him not to harm her again.
Overconfident, Wan Shan dismissed Du Lei’s words, oblivious to the undercurrents of tension. After parting ways with Wan Shan, Du Lei tried calling Jiang Jun but couldn’t reach her. He drove to her apartment and waited outside, where he coincidentally ran into Yuan Shuai. Yuan Shuai warned him once again about his repeated approaches to Jiang Jun. Spotting Jiang Jun in the distance, Du Lei deliberately provoked Yuan Shuai with taunts.
Already on edge, Yuan Shuai finally snapped and punched Du Lei squarely in the face. Witnessing the scene, Jiang Jun rushed over to support Du Lei and harshly rebuked Yuan Shuai. Stunned that she would defend the scheming Du Lei, Yuan Shuai barely contained his fury and coldly admonished her before storming off. Sitting on a nearby bench, Jiang Jun tended to Du Lei’s injury.
As they talked about the mugging and her broken phone, Du Lei subtly questioned her motives. Hesitant to reveal the full story, Jiang Jun was surprised when Du Lei—already privy to the truth—hinted at a more effective way to deal with their enemy. His veiled advice gave her a new direction for her plan. Returning home, Du Lei found his sister Linda waiting on the couch.
He brushed off the injury on his face, and their conversation shifted to Wanxing Entertainment. Though things seemed calm on the surface, Wan Shan was already losing his composure, while the GE representatives (Yuan Shuai and Su Chang) were preparing to intervene at the right moment. Linda then brought up Jiang Jun. Du Lei claimed he was merely using her as a pawn to retaliate against Yuan Shuai, but Linda warned him not to let the pawn outmaneuver him.
After leaving, she even ordered her men to tail Du Lei and report his every move. At work, the tension between Yuan Shuai and Jiang Jun lingered. Irritated by her coldness toward him while she remained friendly with others, Yuan Shuai masked his frustration. Setting aside personal matters, he proceeded with his plan and arranged a meeting with Luo Sheng. Jiang Jun met Tang Xin at a café.
Seeing Tang Xin’s unwavering determination to pursue her dreams strengthened Jiang Jun’s resolve. To help and protect her, Jiang Jun recommended a reliable lawyer and urged Tang Xin to learn self-defense and wield the law as her weapon. Back home, Jiang Jun agonized over whether to swallow her pride and reconcile with Yuan Shuai. Coincidentally, her water supply cut off mid-shower, forcing her to seek help at Yuan Shuai’s apartment next door.
While rinsing her hair in his bathroom, Wangcai (the dog) barged in. As Yuan Shuai tried to shoo the dog away, Jiang Jun—her eyes covered in shampoo—accidentally kicked him in the head, adding to her list of "crimes." Sitting on the couch with a headache, Yuan Shuai endured Jiang Jun’s frantic apologies. Spotting her battered phone and Luo Sheng’s files on the table, Jiang Jun finally understood Yuan Shuai’s plan. Realizing she wasn’t fighting alone, she seized this lifeline, and the two happily formed an alliance.
