Double Love Episode 10 Recap
> Double Love Recap
Lu Wanwan finds herself incredibly embarrassed after a vivid dream about Han Jingmo, which included her cooking for him. This dream leaves her flustered whenever she's near him. During filming, a close-up scene with Han Jingmo causes her heart to pound, bringing the dream's sensations rushing back. Distracted by his proximity, she misremembers her lines and blurted out "Seven times seven is 69," leading to multiple retakes.
This mortifying experience makes her want to disappear, and she blames Han Jingmo for distracting her. Later that night, walking alone on the beach, Lu Wanwan is still consumed by the day's embarrassing events. Suddenly, two drunk men accost and grab her. She cries out for help, and Han Jingmo swiftly appears, subduing the men and rescuing her. Overcome with relief and gratitude, Lu Wanwan embraces him.
Han Jingmo, sensing her distress, reassures her that she is safe and everything is alright. He then escorts her back to her room. From just outside her door, he messages her, offering to stay if she needs companionship, and even sends a funny picture to lighten her mood, which helps her relax. Han Jingmo then teases her, asking if she thought he was handsome during the confrontation, to which she admits he was indeed very attractive.
In the game, Lu Wanwan, playing as Chu He, and Han Jingmo, playing as Between Ink White, embark on a Couple Mission. Despite Chu He finding it overly complicated, Between Ink White emphasizes the importance of "a sense of ritual." Upon successfully completing the mission, they proceed to choose a residence, settling on a small courtyard that Between Ink White reveals is a replica of the wedding ceremony venue of Bai Yujing and Yuan Zixia, a legendary in-game couple.
Impressed by Chu He's choice, Between Ink White offers to take care of the entire "Side by Side" wedding package as a reward for Chu He's efforts in increasing their friendship level. When Chu He offers to contribute, Between Ink White suggests a different form of reward: she should change her appellation for him, noting that he already calls her "My Wife."
The engagement ceremony begins, with Between Ink White announcing his generous purchase of the "Side by Side" wedding package. As their tokens, Chu He presents a handmade calligraphy sachet, self-deprecatingly remarking on its appearance, but Between Ink White warmly accepts it, praising her penmanship. In return, he gives her the valuable Sentiments: Skystar earrings.
Chu He realizes that his previous extensive efforts to acquire the Pass of Between Xing Yuan and repeatedly explore the Skystar Underground Palace were all for this precious gift. Between Ink White clarifies that his actions were driven by his feelings for her. Moved, Chu He expresses her deep appreciation, though she playfully asks if he acquired them with money obtained at a high interest rate.
As a return gift, Chu He also played a beautiful melody for Between Ink White. Following the exchange, a World Announcement is broadcast, celebrating Between Ink White and Chu He's engagement and their completion of the Love as One Heart Mission. It further declares that their grand wedding ceremony will take place at 9 p. m. on the 21st of the current month, inviting all martial artists to witness the occasion.
However, the celebratory mood is interrupted by a World Announcement from Time Flies Flower Blooms, who challenges Chu He to a duel in the Sword Tournament Field a month later. The terms are stark: the loser must quit the game. Chu He's disciple immediately embraces her leg, fearful of being left without protection if her master loses. Chu He scolds her disciple and kicks her away, asserting her confidence and stating she is not afraid.
She firmly believes she will not lose, especially with Between Ink White's promised assistance. Between Ink White then tells her to practice with him for two hours every day. After exiting the game, Han Jingmo reveals to Gu Qiaobei that Lu Wanwan is indeed Chu He. Gu Qiaobei is taken aback by this information, realizing Han Jingmo's feelings for Lu Wanwan.
He urges Han Jingmo to confess openly and pursue her, cautioning that keeping it a secret could lead to issues. However, Han Jingmo remains unperturbed, asserting that everything is under his control and that the time is not yet right to tell her. Lu Guanghan, the boss of Ying Ge, personally offers Lu Wanwan a contract. Lu Wanwan initially expresses apprehension, fearing it might be a result of favoritism because of their familial relationship.
Lu Guanghan clarifies that he is not one to appoint people by favoritism; he has consulted with Director Zheng, who gave Lu Wanwan high praise for her recent efforts and progress as a newcomer. Lu Wanwan then sets a condition: she wants to choose her own roles and scripts, insisting on building her career steadily through her own hard work, and outright refusing any "resource feeding" from her brother.
Lu Guanghan respects her resolve to challenge herself and agrees to her terms. Soon after, Lu Guanghan and Lu Wanwan publicly sign the contract before the media. Li Weiqian is informed by her agent that the investors for three of her upcoming dramas have developed a strong interest in Lu Wanwan, potentially altering Li Weiqian's own film contracts. Subsequently, Li Weiqian offers a sum of money to her assistant, whose mother is unwell.
Despite initial hesitation, the assistant accepts the money, agreeing to Li Weiqian's implied task related to this competition. Li Weiqian approaches Lu Wanwan, subtly delivering veiled insults about arrogant newcomers who are two-faced and have disorderly private lives. Unaware that Li Weiqian's remarks are directed at her, Lu Wanwan innocently agrees with her. Overhearing this, Han Jingmo intervenes, praising Lu Wanwan's consistent beauty and implying she doesn't need makeup touch-ups. His compliments infuriate Li Weiqian, who storms off.
Once Li Weiqian is gone, Han Jingmo playfully teases Lu Wanwan, remarking that her intelligence unfortunately doesn't quite match her striking appearance. Determined to undermine Lu Wanwan, Li Weiqian intentionally provokes her. She then deliberately falls to the ground, loudly claiming that Lu Wanwan pushed her, creating a scene to make onlookers believe Lu Wanwan was responsible. Incensed by the false accusation, Lu Wanwan attempts to physically retaliate but is held back.
Li Weiqian then lunges forward to strike Lu Wanwan, but she is swiftly restrained by a tall, handsome man who warns her to not go too far. Lu Wanwan is visibly thrilled at the sight of the man, addressing him warmly as "Jinghang." Their affectionate reunion immediately triggers jealousy in Han Jingmo, who internally laments not having confessed his feelings to Lu Wanwan earlier. Han Jingmo confronts the newcomer, questioning his identity.
Zhao Jinghang then introduces himself as Lu Wanwan's personal bodyguard, assigned by Ying Ge, and humorously adds that he is also the President of Lu Wanwan's Global Fan Club, emphasizing his role as her round-the-clock protector. Han Jingmo expresses surprise at Ying Ge offering such a service, to which Zhao Jinghang retorts that Han Jingmo is simply "not in the high position" to be aware of it, suggesting he consult Lu Guanghan if he has doubts. Han Jingmo attempts to lead Lu Wanwan away, but Zhao Jinghang deftly stops him.
