My Amazing Boyfriend Episode 23 Recap
> My Amazing Boyfriend Recap
Tian Jingzhi struggled with her acting, finding it difficult to cope with Xue Ling Qiao’s absence. She tried to convince herself to live a better and more wonderful life without him. Meanwhile, Li Yanzhi visited Ye Chen’s laboratory, claiming to be looking for inspiration for his detective work. When Li Yanzhi tried to read Ye Chen’s confidential case files on Tian Jingzhi, arguing he had a right to know as her ex-boyfriend, the two playfully wrestled for the documents.
Their scuffle was interrupted by Zhang Xuanxuan, who revealed that Tian Jingzhi and Xue Ling Qiao had broken up and urged Li Yanzhi to comfort his heartbroken friend. Later, while sitting restlessly in her car, Tian Jingzhi's mind was filled with thoughts of Xue Ling Qiao. After sending Feng Dongdong home, Li Yanzhi surprised her by taking over as her driver.
Lost in thought, Tian Jingzhi didn't notice him until he spoke, gently advising her that her self-protection awareness was too low. Unbeknownst to her, Xue Ling Qiao had received an impulsive text she'd sent and was already on his way back to her home. Upon arriving, Li Yanzhi confessed his long-held feelings for Tian Jingzhi, promising to protect her and asking for another chance. Before she could respond, a noise from inside the house revealed Xue Ling Qiao's presence.
Tian Jingzhi quickly made an excuse about a stray cat and urged Li Yanzhi to leave. After he departed, an angry Xue Ling Qiao emerged, having overheard Li Yanzhi's confession. He returned the blood-stained dress she wore during their car accident, calling it a "souvenir." Despite his anger, he reiterated his promise to protect her and offered to help deal with her family.
However, when Tian Jingzhi pleaded that she wanted nothing but for him to stay, he coldly rejected her. Hurt and frustrated, Tian Jingzhi lashed out, calling him a "cold-blooded weird stray cat" and regretting that she hadn't saved some of his blood for its healing properties. After a harsh goodbye, Xue Ling Qiao left, leaving her heartbroken. Elsewhere, Ye Chen delved deeper into the dormant corpse case.
Theorizing that the body had lived for centuries, he connected a jade artifact pawned a hundred years ago with the corpse being submerged around the same time and deduced that the thief who stole the jade was likely the immortal creature. To confirm his theory, Ye Chen called Tian Jingzhi, stating he knew all her secrets, including why she was kidnapped and how Li Yanzhi miraculously recovered.
This infuriated Tian Jingzhi, who passionately defended "Da Qiao" (Xue Ling Qiao), insisting he was her boyfriend, not a monster who was just playing a role. She blamed Ye Chen and his research for forcing Xue Ling Qiao to leave. Distraught, she made Ye Chen promise not to tell anyone, threatening to marry Zhang Xuanxuan herself to stop his relationship with her if he broke his word. Ye Chen reluctantly agreed.
Meanwhile, Li Yanzhi’s investigation continued as he and his team discussed their search for the elusive Hong Shi Long. Concurrently, Tian Jingzhi’s parents visited, worried about her breakup with their "Son-in-Law," Xue Ling Qiao. Her father, concerned she was being mistreated, prepared to call him. However, Li Yanzhi cleverly diverted him by suggesting his twitching eye could be a symptom of a stroke.
Tian Jingzhi then asserted her newfound independence to her parents, stating she had grown up and chosen her own life without regret. She emphasized that her mother should be her father’s ultimate focus of protection. As her parents left, still fretting over the car Xue Ling Qiao had gifted them, she dismissed it as a "breakup fee." Later, Zhang Xuanxuan and Ye Chen discussed Tian Jingzhi’s heartbreak.
While Zhang Xuanxuan felt sorry for her friend, she also saw the breakup as an excellent opportunity for Li Yanzhi and admitted to encouraging him to pursue Tian Jingzhi. Separately, Li Yanzhi arranged a formal dinner with Tian Jingzhi, who cautioned him against it, preferring his old straightforwardness over the bad habits he might learn from "Scum Ye." Admitting he hadn't been romantic in the past, Li Yanzhi revealed a ring he had bought even before they started dating.
He explained that his near-death experience made him want to fight for her again. He told her she didn't have to accept it immediately, but he would wait. Startled, Tian Jingzhi jokingly threatened to call the police, to which Li Yanzhi calmly reminded her that he was the police.
