Love Under the Full Moon Episode 19 Recap
> Love Under the Full Moon Recap
Lei Chuxia arrived at Wei Yi Tech amid a media frenzy. She recalled how Wei Xuanhe once used a photo of her at Wei Yi Tech, from ten years prior when she didn't know Xu Wei Yi, as "evidence" of her supposedly stealing patent documents. Now, she understood the truth: she was there to help Xu Wei Yi, not to steal. Xu Wei Yi was not at the company.
A front desk employee, who trusted Xu Wei Yi's integrity, recognized Lei Chuxia from her previous visit and expressed concern that Lei Chuxia’s attempt to warn Xu Wei Yi about Piggy Tech yesterday failed. Still believing there was time, the employee provided Xu Wei Yi's private phone number, emphasizing its confidentiality. Lei Chuxia called Xu Wei Yi and introduced herself, immediately reassuring him that she believed in his innocence and attributed the accusations to Piggy Tech's schemes.
Xu Wei Yi expressed profound regret over sacrificing family for work, lamenting his wife's passing and his absence from his son's life. He felt deep shame for losing the patent, tarnishing his name, and implicating his family. Lei Chuxia urged him to stay strong, warning that his absence would plunge Xu Xiaodong into sorrow. Surprised, Xu Wei Yi asked if she knew Xu Xiaodong.
Lei Chuxia then revealed she was from ten years in the future, clarifying that she knew the future Xu Xiaodong. Unfazed by her incredible claim, Xu Wei Yi anxiously inquired about his son's future. Lei Chuxia assured him that Xu Xiaodong was doing well, was being cared for by his aunt, had friends, and was striving to prove his father's innocence.
Grateful, Xu Wei Yi asked Lei Chuxia to convey a message to his future son: he didn't need Xu Xiaodong to do anything for him, but only to cherish every moment of joy and live a happy life. The call abruptly disconnected. Lei Chuxia, panicked, remembered Xu Xiaodong's past words about his father seeking solace under an old tree when sad. She rushed to the tree but arrived too late, finding Xu Wei Yi had passed away.
Overwhelmed with grief, she lamented that she couldn't save him. Despite her profound sadness, Lei Chuxia resolved not to give up, fueled by past encouragement from Xu Xiaodong—who told her she could overcome any challenge as long as she had the courage to face it—and her parents, who advised her to persevere until the very end to avoid regret. The full moon reminded her that she was about to return to Xu Xiaodong.
She then confronted Gu Xiaoqi, accusing her of betraying Xu Wei Yi's trust and stealing the patent document for Wei Xuanhe's love during their university days. Lei Chuxia revealed how Gu Xiaoqi, as Xu Wei Yi's secretary, accessed the patent document, accompanied him to mail it on October 15th, then secretly returned to steal the unregistered document after he left.
Gu Xiaoqi then passed it to Wei Xuanhe, who, through Piggy Tech, filed a patent application on October 16th, before Gu Xiaoqi filed Xu Wei Yi's company's application on October 17th. When Gu Xiaoqi denied the accusations and demanded evidence, Lei Chuxia pointed to the patent document still hidden in Gu Xiaoqi's room, noting its earlier postmark which proved Xu Wei Yi's innocence and suggested Gu Xiaoqi kept it as leverage against Wei Xuanhe.
Although Gu Xiaoqi argued it was too late to change the past, Lei Chuxia instructed her to tell Wei Xuanhe to come find her, and to be careful. Lei Chuxia rushed home, realizing that to clear Xu Wei Yi's name, she must find a way to preserve the patent document for ten years into the future. It was November 18th again, and the sequence of events was restarting.
While eating dinner with her parents, Lei Chuxia, aware of the impending events, gently deflected their discussions about her marriage to Wei Xuanhe. When Wei Xuanhe arrived at their door, Lei Chuxia, already knowing he was there for the patent, directed him to look for documents in her room. He received a call and, before leaving abruptly, attempted to appeal to their shared history, claiming his actions were for her benefit.
Lei Chuxia’s parents observed Wei Xuanhe leaving in a huff, and her father suggested Wei Xuanhe should be the one to clarify any misunderstandings. Lei Chuxia then saw a news report about Xu Wei Yi’s heart attack, linking it to the plagiarism allegations. She understood that the patent document would appear at this specific time. To prevent it from disappearing as it did before, she decided to hide it.
She gathered the document, bid a silent farewell to her parents, and buried the original patent document under a red swing in the street garden, hoping to deceive time and preserve it for a decade. On her way, she encountered a young Xu Xiaodong, who was rushing to the hospital, and silently encouraged him to be strong, promising they would meet again in ten years.
Holding a decoy document, Lei Chuxia was pursued by Wei Xuanhe to the Tongcheng University back mountain, where she jumped off the cliff under the full moon. Ten years later, Lei Chuxia materialized back in the 415 laboratory, to the immense relief and joy of Xu Xiaodong and the others. As everyone's attention was on Lei Chuxia, Wang Yixin secretly activated the time machine, intending to travel through time himself.
However, he was instead condemned to wander endlessly through the river of time, a fate Professor Chen Mo considered a punishment from the universe. Lei Chuxia, prioritizing their mission, immediately pulled Xu Xiaodong away, eager to retrieve the buried patent document. On their way, Lei Chuxia explained how she went back ten years, understood the full chronology of events, and secured the original patent document from Xu Wei Yi's application, which predates Piggy Tech's filing, thus proving his innocence.
Xu Xiaodong, initially skeptical about finding it after a decade of urban changes, was reassured by Lei Chuxia's memory of burying it under the distinct red swings in the street garden. Upon arrival, after Lei Chuxia cleverly traded lollipops with children for a spade, they dug up the document. To their dismay, ten years of being buried had rendered the paper illegible. Lei Chuxia was deeply disheartened, feeling that history could not be changed despite her efforts.
Xu Xiaodong, however, comforted her, explaining that her actions profoundly changed him. Before her appearance, he was isolated in his struggle to clear his father's name, but she brought richness and meaning to his life. He asserted that he was the embodiment of her hard work and promised to continue their fight, fueled by her perseverance. With Wang Yixin gone and her safety secured, Xu Xiaodong tenderly kissed her forehead, welcoming her home.
Yuan Yuan was outraged by Wei Xuanhe's plagiarism of Xu Wei Yi's work and his past treatment of Lei Chuxia, wishing to confront him violently. Xu Xiaodong calmed her, explaining that without concrete evidence, neither Wei Xuanhe nor Zhao Yaoyang would confess, requiring them to devise a new strategy. Later, Xu Xiaodong and Lei Chuxia visited the rooftop, a place where Xu Xiaodong's father used to bring him, reflecting on its significant changes over the years.
Lei Chuxia relayed Xu Wei Yi's message to Xu Xiaodong, who recognized it as something his father would say. Xu Xiaodong then mused about a "strange person" — the "old fairy lady" — who appeared in his life at his lowest point to offer encouragement, then mysteriously vanished. Lei Chuxia playfully teased him about his past "scene" phase before revealing that she herself was that "fairy." Realizing the extraordinary coincidence, Xu Xiaodong expressed wonder at the universe.
Lei Chuxia then discovered a new QR code on the rooftop. Using Xu Xiaodong's phone, she scanned it to reveal the words "I love you." She joyfully confronted Xu Xiaodong, who confessed he had always loved her. They then shared a sweet embrace and kiss, as Xu Xiaodong wholeheartedly welcomed Lei Chuxia into his world.
Meanwhile, believing that Lei Chuxia's disappearance had erased all threats to his misdeeds, Wei Xuanhe confidently launched his "Family First system," celebrating its immediate success with millions of registrations. However, Xu Xiaodong, using an AI named Turing, performed a code comparison and discovered that "Family First" shared over 85% overlap with his father's original source code, revealing that Wei Xuanhe and Zhao Yaoyang were still shamelessly profiting from Xu Wei Yi's work. Xu Xiaodong then commanded Turing to activate its highest work mode.
