Double Love Episode 15 Recap
> Double Love Recap
Feeling disappointed that her carefully chosen birthday gift for Han Jingmo remained ungiven, Lu Wanwan noticed the flurry of online birthday wishes for him. As soon as she posted her own, she was criticized by others for taking advantage of his popularity and acting as if she knew him well, with one person pointing out her post was merely a repost of Gu Qiaobei's, lacking sincerity.
Ignoring the negativity, Lu Wanwan decided to watch Han Jingmo's live stream, remembering it was his birthday. The live stream was revealed to be a charity event, with the reward function turned off, allowing only well wishes. This was Han Jingmo's sole condition for participating, making it a more meaningful occasion. He also stated that it was his first time celebrating his birthday, or perhaps even his first time celebrating any birthday.
During the stream, Han Jingmo shared a moving story about filming in Daliang Mountain, where children faced treacherous journeys over mountains for hours just to attend school, enduring harsh conditions and extreme temperature differences. His heartfelt account prompted fans to donate, and screenshots of donations poured into the chat.
When "Luxury Flower" and "Time Flies Flower Blooms" generously donated, Lu Wanwan felt a surge of irritation that "Time Flies Flower Blooms" was trying to outdo her even in charitable giving, vowing not to lose to her. Han Jingmo, however, interrupted the stream to halt the competitive donations, emphasizing that charity should stem from genuine sincerity, not meaningless comparisons or emotional display.
He urged his fans to adopt healthy consumption habits and not be misguided by the actions of "Time Flies Flower Blooms" and "Luxury Flower." Lu Wanwan felt a pang of indignation, realizing her two years' worth of lucky money spent to support him had resulted in her being labeled a bad example. Despite this, she acknowledged his handsome face and contemplated apologizing to him.
She then realized he wouldn't know it was her who had donated, making her feel as though her effort was for nothing. Determined, she decided to seek him out after taking a shower. As Lu Wanwan prepared to approach Han Jingmo's room, she overheard a staff member mentioning that the CCTV on the ninth floor was broken, which made her hesitate. Just as she contemplated delaying her visit, Han Jingmo suddenly appeared behind her.
She presented him with her birthday gift, explaining that she had prepared it long ago but felt awkward presenting it after Yan Shengkai had given him the same item. Han Jingmo, however, dismissed her concerns, saying she was different from Yan Shengkai. When pressed for clarification, he playfully remarked that she wasn't as tall as Yan Shengkai, which she immediately told him to shut up about.
Han Jingmo then expressed sympathy for her, noting how upset she looked, to which Lu Wanwan comically claimed she was so distressed she needed a quick heart-saving pill. He questioned why she cared so much about his feelings, and Lu Wanwan, flustered, nearly confessed her affection before quickly covering it up by claiming she was simply responding to the crew's call for unity. She then urged him to rest, given his busy day of filming, live streaming, and celebrating.
Han Jingmo, however, spotted Zhao Jingxing returning nearby. He then quickly pushed Lu Wanwan into his room. Once inside his room, Han Jingmo asked Lu Wanwan if she was happy now that she had given him the gift and they had shared cake. She jokingly suggested he look in a mirror to see his own "handsome but sad face."
He then brought up a previous interview where he stated his first kiss was still intact, revealing it was a lie, a trick by the host. Lu Wanwan immediately questioned the kiss they shared at her house, but Han Jingmo dismissed it as a misunderstanding. She challenged him, asking how many "misunderstandings" he had. She also called him out for claiming on his live stream that he had never celebrated his birthday, effectively deceiving his fans.
Han Jingmo defended himself, insisting he genuinely hadn't celebrated a birthday since his debut. Lu Wanwan confirmed this, revealing she knew everything about him because she "was" his die-hard fan, a past tense that surprised him. To lighten the mood, she fed him some cake, and in the process, accidentally smeared it on his face. As she reached to wipe it off, Han Jingmo leaned in close, startling her.
Her heart pounded as she registered his intense gaze, convinced he harbored feelings for her. Overwhelmed, she quickly pushed him away and retreated to her own room, replaying the moment in her mind. That night, Lu Wanwan dreamt she was Snow White, who, upon encountering the slumbering Prince Han Jingmo, awoke him with a kiss, leading to a joyful, hand-in-hand dance.
She awoke in the morning, feeling embarrassed by the vivid dream, wondering if she had truly been "seduced" or was having "evil thoughts" about Han Jingmo, chastising herself with the idiom "indulging on your lust is equivalent to hang a knife upon your head." As she stepped out, she encountered Han Jingmo, who quickly cornered her against a wall, asking why she was avoiding him.
Lu Wanwan, feigning indifference, claimed she was merely packing to go home since she had no filming for the next two days, criticizing his "inappropriate" behavior of pulling her. Han Jingmo reminded her he used to hold her like that, prompting her to retort that things were different now. He pressed her on what had changed, but she evaded the question, claiming someone was "after her" as she rushed away.
Outside the hotel, her agent, Song Chi, was waiting with a packed schedule: reshoots with Han Jingmo and Yan Shengkai, media visits, and more. Lu Wanwan suddenly realized it was the eleventh, the date for her crucial duel, and urgently rushed off, stating it was an important fight to the death. She inwardly declared her resolve to practice diligently for her showdown with Time Flies Flower Blooms.
Back in the game, Lu Wanwan, as Chu He, began practicing for the impending duel. Ink White, observing her, noted her insufficient skill connection, weak attacks, and slow hand speed, suggesting they undertake "Couple Missions" to improve her agility. Lu Wanwan, feeling cared for by Ink White in-game, felt a pang of guilt, especially given her real-life feelings for Han Jingmo. Driven by this, she decided to approach Ink White and propose ending their in-game couple status.
She explained that they had initially formed the couple only to experience the "Love as One Heart" system, and that while she was single when they first became a couple, she now had someone she liked, though they weren't together yet. She offered compensation, including returning limited edition in-game clothing. Ink White, surprisingly, seemed to accept her confession, stating he would break up with her if she got together with her liked person, internally noting her loyalty.
When Ink White paused, Lu Wanwan speculated his internet was stuck, surprised he didn't attack her in frustration. Soon after, another player joined the conversation, criticizing celebrities like Han Jingmo for constantly hyping themselves. Lu Wanwan immediately jumped to Han Jingmo's defense, asserting he was a "top idol" and dismissing any rumors as false.
When the player called her a "crazy fan," she proudly admitted it, vowing to rally an army of spammers to crush anyone who dared to smear Han Jingmo, vehemently telling the player to stop speaking ill of her idol. The day of the final duel arrived, pitting Chu He (Lu Wanwan) against Time Flies Flower Blooms, with the agreement that the loser would quit Moonlight Blade. Time Flies Flower Blooms arrived with her supporters.
Before the actual fight, Ink White, Gu Qiaobei, and another ally put on an impressive sword dance display, leaving Lu Wanwan in awe and wondering if they had practiced just for her. Time Flies Flower Blooms tried to provoke Chu He, suggesting she should just admit defeat or confess her desire to leave Ink White. But Chu He was steadfast, supported by Gu Qiaobei, who openly declared his unwavering support.
Another player revealed that Gu Qiaobei had even wagered 1,000 yuan on Chu He's victory. The duel then began in earnest. Chu He emerged victorious, leaving Time Flies Flower Blooms to uphold her promise. Despite the clear terms, some players began blaming Chu He for forcing Time Flies Flower Blooms out of the game. Ink White quickly intervened, reminding everyone that Time Flies Flower Blooms herself had set the condition that the loser would quit.
He insisted that she keep her word. Time Flies Flower Blooms, acknowledging her defeat, formally announced her departure from the game, but asked for a moment to speak privately with Ink White. However, Ink White promptly dismissed her, stating he had no interest in hearing from someone unimportant and instructed her to seek him out once she had finished her business, before departing to complete a mission.
After the duel, Lu Wanwan, as Chu He, expressed her satisfaction that the long ordeal of fighting and "mouth cannons" was over. In their in-game wedding house, she thanked Ink White for upholding justice and removing Time Flies Flower Blooms from the game, to which Ink White simply replied that it was his duty to protect his wife. She briefly wondered what Time Flies Flower Blooms had wanted to say, but Ink White dismissed it, reiterating his disinterest in her.
Later, in real life, Gu Qiaobei praised Ink White's decisive actions during the duel, calling them "clean and sharp" and referring to him as "the man I like." Lu Wanwan observed Han Jingmo engrossed in his phone, and someone commented on his intense focus, wondering if he was talking to his wife, further speculating on his personal life and whether "Ms. Guan" knew how he treated his wife.
