Double Love Episode 12 Recap
> Double Love Recap
Lu Wanwan finally found a strong signal and logged into the game, where she and Han Jingmo, appearing as their in-game characters Between Ink White and Chu He, held their wedding. Amidst much fanfare, they exchanged vows and wore their new wedding attire. Gu Qiaobei presided over the ceremony as the in-game emcee, leading the couple through their vows, which included some unusual questions about their appearance and intelligence. Under pressure from the crowd, Han Jingmo kissed his new bride.
After the wedding, the system required them to stay in the virtual nuptial chamber for five minutes. Han Jingmo, who had meticulously decorated the virtual room for Lu Wanwan, even recorded the screen so she could rewatch their wedding anytime. However, the two felt awkward just sitting by the bed, struggling to find conversation.
Just as Lu Wanwan stretched to adjust her skirt, she startlingly realized she was in a real-world men's restroom, having unconsciously wandered there while seeking a good network signal. Zhao Jinghang then entered, causing Lu Wanwan to instantly sober up, realize her embarrassing predicament, and flee. Meanwhile, a video showing Li Weiqian faking a fall during an argument with Lu Wanwan backstage was exposed online.
The footage clearly showed Li Weiqian collapsing without Lu Wanwan touching her, effectively clearing Lu Wanwan's name. It was revealed that Han Jingmo had secretly placed a small recording device, capturing the entire incident. Later, Li Weiqian sought out Lu Wanwan, confessing her jealousy and admitting she had indeed faked the fall. She tearfully begged Lu Wanwan for help, hoping she wouldn't be removed from the crew and asking her to issue a clarification to salvage her reputation.
Lu Wanwan, feeling she had no power to influence the decision, refused. Still wondering who was behind the video, Lu Wanwan later overheard Lu Guanghan on the phone discussing the matter and excitedly embraced him, assuming he was her benefactor. Lu Guanghan, however, denied any involvement, finding his sister quite naive for not guessing the true helper, which he subtly indicated with a "caring for an idiot" look.
On the set of "Big Dunk," a basketball nearly hit Lu Wanwan, but Zhao Jinghang skillfully intercepted it, executing a perfect dunk. Director Zheng was so impressed that he praised Zhao Jinghang, remarking that being a mere bodyguard was a waste of his talent, and offered him a role in the film. Lu Wanwan was delighted for Zhao Jinghang, but Han Jingmo, witnessing her excitement, became visibly displeased, leading to another spat between them.
Lu Wanwan's assistant later confirmed that it was Han Jingmo who had released the video online. Grateful, Lu Wanwan approached Lu Guanghan, asking him to arrange a film project for Han Jingmo so he could win a Best Actor award as a form of thanks. Lu Guanghan, however, warned her not to make rash promises simply out of gratitude.
Lu Wanwan then tried to apologize to Han Jingmo herself, but her awkward attempts led to a misunderstanding where he thought she was calling him "sick," further escalating his anger. She later made a more formal attempt to apologize and express her gratitude, but a delivery of gifts from fans interrupted her. Finally, she approached him again, offering to do anything he asked to repay him, with the sole exception of "anything against ethics."
Han Jingmo, with a smile, playfully challenged her to specify how she would repay him, to which Lu Wanwan, taken aback by his seriousness, retorted by criticizing his poor character. Later, Han Jingmo found Lu Wanwan eating and clarified that Zhao Jinghang had also played a part in helping with the video. He then hinted at his feelings for her, but Lu Wanwan firmly rejected him, citing his unpleasant, manipulative, and hypocritical personality.
Just then, Zhao Jinghang arrived to pick up Lu Wanwan, abruptly cutting off Han Jingmo mid-sentence as he drove away, leaving Han Jingmo standing awkwardly. Meanwhile, Mr. Mu, Gu Qiaobei's representative, and Lu Guanghan held a separate discussion regarding Gu Qiaobei's contract for "Big Dunk." Mr. Mu initially demanded a 50% increase in Gu Qiaobei's pay, citing a concern that the lead female role's reduced status following Li Weiqian's departure would diminish Gu Qiaobei's stature.
Lu Guanghan, acknowledging Gu Qiaobei's significant commercial value to the project, conceded to this demand. However, Gu Qiaobei unexpectedly joined the meeting, announcing his decision to withdraw from the production due to the perceived downgrade of the female lead's role and a conflict with his upcoming variety show schedule. Despite Mr. Mu's attempts to persuade him to stay, Gu Qiaobei remained resolute. Lu Guanghan, pragmatic about the situation, reaffirmed that Gu Qiaobei's agreed-upon remuneration would be maintained, ensuring he stayed on board.
