Love Unexpected Episode 23 Recap
> Love Unexpected Recap
Feeling disheartened after several meetings with potential sponsors who were only interested in commercial gain rather than genuinely supporting Kuang Hu, Ke Siyi expressed her frustration. However, Liang Zhixiao assured her there was still one more hopeful prospect. Meanwhile, Lin Wen's guided tour took an unexpected turn when she discovered Zhou Yanxin was her only passenger.
She feigned anger and tried to leave, but Zhou Yanxin playfully chased after her, admitting he had intentionally booked all the spots to get her attention and mend their relationship. Elsewhere, Li Yunzhu met with You Weiwei, who initially joked that Yunzhu wanted advice on pursuing Liang Zhixiao.
To You Weiwei's shock, Yunzhu revealed she actually wanted to help Liang Zhixiao pursue Ke Siyi, believing that if two of the three heartbroken friends could find happiness, her own pain would be worth it. Liang Zhixiao then introduced Ke Siyi and Li Da to Ms. Yu Jiayan, the final potential sponsor.
Yu Jiayan revealed herself to be a dedicated fan of the Masked Woman, not for the fighting itself, but for Ke Siyi's pledge to "swing her fist at all injustices." This resonated with the values of her own women's clothing company. She demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the team members' personal stories, recognizing a profound "female power" in their journeys.
Acknowledging Kuang Hu's management issues, Yu Jiayan stated that was her area of expertise and outlined three clear requirements for her sponsorship: first, separating management from training; second, separating professional and amateur training tracks; and third, having Ke Siyi become Kuang Hu's official spokesperson. Convinced by Yu Jiayan's genuine understanding and clear vision, Ke Siyi eagerly accepted the offer. At a restaurant, it was revealed that Yu Jiayan's sponsorship was orchestrated by Xu Nuo.
She was repaying a past favor where he had saved her company from a crisis. Though he insisted their current arrangement was purely business, Xu Nuo couldn't hide his concern, asking if Ke Siyi was happy with the deal. Later, Xu Nuo spoke with his master, Jack, revealing the full extent of his intricate "Star Picking Plan."
He explained that he had systematically transferred Hege's core assets, like Hege Video and Hege Literature, to his new company, Nebula Entertainment—named in honor of his father's old company. The plan was a trap for Wu Dongde, designed to make him invest his fortune into Hege, only to have his shares diluted by Spectral Capital's investment while the valuable assets were already gone.
To prove his honorable intentions, Xu Nuo pledged to use 30% of Nebula's pre-listing profits to compensate Hege's original shareholders. With Wu Dongde's takeover just 24 hours away, Xu Nuo gave Jack 12 hours to commit the funds. That evening, Ke Siyi found her way into Xu Nuo's office. Believing the news reports that he was financially ruined, she sincerely offered to support him with her boxing earnings, promising to maintain his "president's lifestyle."
To push her away for her own safety, Xu Nuo feigned anger and called security. Undeterred, Ke Siyi declared her unwavering love and vowed to return. The next day, during the live-streamed Hege Group handover ceremony, Xu Nuo calmly stalled for time while awaiting Jack's confirmation. Just as Wu Dongde confidently pushed him to sign the papers, a message from Jack arrived: the funds were transferred.
With Spectral Capital's investment, Xu Nuo announced they were now Hege Media's largest shareholder, nullifying Wu Dongde's claim to the chairmanship. He then delivered the second blow: all core entertainment assets had been legally transferred to Nebula Entertainment. Wu Dongde erupted in fury, but Xu Nuo calmly countered that the process was fully compliant and a necessary move for Hege's future. Emerging victorious, Xu Nuo addressed the media.
However, when he saw Ke Siyi in the crowd, he approached and coldly rebuked her, threatening legal action to publicly sever all ties. Heartbroken, Ke Siyi watched him leave. Once inside the elevator, Xu Nuo's confident facade crumbled. He explained to a confused Zhou Yanxin that he had to push Ke Siyi away to protect her from Wu Dongde's inevitable retaliation and asked him to warn Lin Wen as well.
To make the separation convincing, Xu Nuo asked Zhou Yanxin to introduce him to a female celebrity for a public "date." Later, Ke Siyi was punching a bag at the gym when Yunzhu arrived. She proposed a farewell dinner for the three of them and Liang Zhixiao before the gym was demolished. Ke Siyi reluctantly agreed, unaware it was a setup. At the restaurant, Yunzhu bailed with an excuse, leaving Ke Siyi and Liang Zhixiao alone.
They quickly realized it was a matchmaking attempt, but both were comfortable in their solid friendship. As they were leaving, Ke Siyi spotted Xu Nuo on a date. When she saw a paparazzo taking photos, she angrily confronted him. To her shock, Xu Nuo intervened, told the photographer to continue, and revealed the entire scene was staged. He then formally introduced the woman by his side, Lin Li, as his new girlfriend.
