Midsummer is full of love Episode 18 Recap
> Midsummer is full of love Recap
Luo Tianran had sought refuge at the Flower Sea Cabin, where Yun Shu had settled her. Jin Zeyi frantically tried to reach her, but Luo Tianran consistently ignored his calls. News about Luo Tianran and Yun Shu spread at Yun Shu's hospital, with staff gossiping about Doctor Yun's supposed involvement in the scandal. The rumors even reached someone close to Jin Zeyi, who called to inquire about the situation, but Jin Zeyi tersely dismissed them.
Meanwhile, Jin Zeyi appeared distraught, like he had lost his soul. His manager, Tiffany, confronted him, criticizing his emotional state and disregard for their team's hard work. She worried that Luo Tianran might expose their contract marriage to protect her relationship with Yun Shu, which would jeopardize Jin Zeyi's career. To Tiffany's surprise, Jin Zeyi confessed that he had fallen in love with Luo Tianran, admitting he no longer cared about anything else, only wanting to find her.
Tiffany was visibly shaken by his revelation. Yun Shu, aware of the online smear campaign against Luo Tianran, met privately with Tiffany, demanding she stop manipulating public opinion and spreading negativity about Luo Tianran. Yun Shu suspected Tiffany was behind the current photo leak as she had previously attempted to use photos of him and Luo Tianran to break up the couple, an offer he had rejected.
Tiffany, unfazed, noted that Jin Zeyi had confessed his feelings for Luo Tianran, suggesting Yun Shu might lose his chance with Luo Tianran if Jin Zeyi found her first, and probed if Yun Shu regretted refusing her past proposal. Later, Yun Shu brought dinner to Luo Tianran at the cabin and gave her a music recording, suggesting she listen to it when feeling down.
After Yun Shu left, Luo Tianran found herself talking to a lizard statue, contemplating whether to forgive Jin Zeyi. She wondered aloud if the statue had been sent by Jin Zeyi. The narrative surrounding Jin Zeyi and Luo Tianran's situation began to shift. Instead of Luo Tianran being the villain, rumors started circulating that Tiffany was interfering in Jin Zeyi's marriage. Reporters swarmed Tiffany outside her company, aggressively questioning her.
Caught off guard and flustered, Tiffany was rescued by Lin Che, who appeared seemingly out of nowhere, shielding her from the press and pulling her into his food truck. Lin Che checked if she was hurt, but Tiffany, mortified at being seen in such a vulnerable state, angrily pushed away the cup of water he offered her and warned him to leave her alone. Unfazed, Lin Che gently held her hand and confessed his feelings for her directly.
Tiffany scoffed, calling him "childish" as she pulled away and left, though a faint smile crept onto her face later as she reflected on the encounter. Back at the office, Jin Zeyi was frustrated by his inability to find Luo Tianran. He received a call from Yun Shu, who proposed a meeting, immediately making Jin Zeyi suspect Yun Shu's involvement in the recent events and the smear campaign. He instructed his assistant, Tai, to investigate Yun Shu.
Meanwhile, Tiffany had a meeting with Mr. Shi, who expressed concern about the company's reputation due to the rumors involving her and Jin Zeyi's marriage. He advised her to handle the situation discreetly and warned her about the relentless reporters. Yun Shu's meeting with Jin Zeyi was not to reveal Luo Tianran's location but to warn him against further hurting her and to stay away. Jin Zeyi, asserting his rights as Luo Tianran's husband, demanded to know where she was.
Yun Shu, however, revealed he knew about their contract marriage, stating that apart from their legal status, there was no real difference between Jin Zeyi and him in Luo Tianran's eyes, and that Jin Zeyi had no right to force her back. Meanwhile, Tai discovered that the photos of Luo Tianran, which were part of the smear campaign, had originated from their own company. Jin Zeyi confronted Tiffany about controlling the public opinion against Luo Tianran and releasing the photos.
Tiffany, while having previously controlled public opinion as stated in the plot, vehemently denied releasing the photos during the confrontation. Jin Zeyi, sensing her evasiveness, told her that he no longer trusted her. Tiffany felt he had changed, while he retorted that she had become a stranger. Still unconvinced by Tiffany's denial about the photos, Jin Zeyi ordered Tai to continue investigating until Luo Tianran was found.
Soon after, Jin Zeyi publicly posted a statement on social media expressing his unconditional trust in Luo Tianran and their relationship. This public declaration contradicted the company's previous public relations efforts, leaving Tiffany exasperated. However, she decided to strategically use this shift to portray Jin Zeyi as a pitiful, innocent husband unaware of the schemes around him. Luo Tianran saw Jin Zeyi's statement and pondered his actions, worrying about him enduring the loneliness and storm of public opinion.
She then reflected that Tiffany was the one who truly understood him and had sacrificed much for his career, concluding that Jin Zeyi should cherish Tiffany. Yun Shu, still at the cabin, continued to advise Luo Tianran, implicitly suggesting she shouldn't let Jin Zeyi's actions affect her. Tai later located Luo Tianran at the Flower Sea Cabin. Jin Zeyi rushed there, finding Luo Tianran with Yun Shu. Jin Zeyi immediately apologized to Luo Tianran for his impulsiveness and distrust.
Yun Shu then intervened, reminding Jin Zeyi of their contract marriage and telling him to leave. Jin Zeyi retorted that he had already asserted his rights as Luo Tianran's husband during their earlier meeting, implying Yun Shu should not interfere. Luo Tianran then realized they had met and Yun Shu explained he had wanted to handle certain matters "like a man."
Luo Tianran then tested Jin Zeyi, asking if he would believe the photos if Tiffany were the one exposed in them. Jin Zeyi, without hesitation, stated he would not believe them because Tiffany was irrelevant to him. Misinterpreting his words as unwavering trust in Tiffany, Luo Tianran grew further disappointed and retreated into the cabin. Yun Shu then blocked Jin Zeyi from entering, stating that Luo Tianran's attitude was clear.
Though unable to enter, Jin Zeyi vowed from the doorway that he would wait for her at home. Back in the city, Tai informed Jin Zeyi that public opinion had now shifted, accusing Tiffany of interfering in his marriage. This made Jin Zeyi question the nature of his relationship with Tiffany, and he asked Tai to arrange a meeting with her.
Later, Luo Tianran received a text message from Jin Zeyi, asking her to return home and bring the "small animal" with her. Puzzled, she searched for it, finding the small lizard statue she had been talking to.
