My Fated Boy Episode 1 Recap
> My Fated Boy Recap
Having grown up together in the town of Qiuyin, Lu Zhengan became the person who understood his neighbor Lin Yang best, yet also the most unlikely person for her. A talented musician like the town's famed pianist Xi Song, he fell in love with her from a young age. Upon his return to China, Lu Zhengan was highly sought after by various companies.
He arranged to meet his future boss, Ma Le, the chairman of Yunlang Music, in a remote location to avoid revealing the company's address due to personal matters. Meanwhile, Li Tian, a persistent schoolmate who had bought a seat next to him on the flight and talked for nearly ten hours, continued to pursue him. After telling her not to cross boundaries, Lu Zhengan tried to escape, but Li Tian gave chase, ordering her driver to follow his car.
After Lu Zhengan handed his luggage to Ma Le and his assistant Tao, he drove off. When Li Tian caught up, Ma Le mistook her for a sasaeng fan, leading to a heated argument between them. As he was driven away, Lu Zhengan continually messaged Lin Yang and urged his driver to hurry, worried his "wifey" might be taken by someone else. At that moment, Lin Yang was at a demanding business dinner.
After drinking heavily on behalf of her boss, she was pulled back to entertain another client, Mr. Gu. Later, joined by her colleagues Yao Dan and Cao Ling, Lin Yang voiced her intention to quit by the end of the year. However, Yao Dan reminded her of her financial obligations, including her bank loan, forcing her to abandon the idea. Resolving to endure, Lin Yang reapplied her makeup and returned to the party.
Lu Zhengan went to his cousin Xie Nanke's house, revealing he had returned to the city of Qingning specifically for Lin Yang. He pressed his cousin for her address, and Xie Nanke provided the general location but not the exact unit number. Lu Zhengan immediately left to surprise her. He called her multiple times without an answer, worrying she might be overworking. Meanwhile, a drunk Lin Yang stumbled upon two men who mockingly called her "Madam" and "Aunty."
Offended, she angrily chased them away. Unaware of this, Lu Zhengan assumed she was asleep, sent a goodnight message, and left. Lin Yang eventually made it home and, after a shower, slipped and fell while reaching for a forgotten towel. She was hospitalized with a strained back and a mild concussion. Annoyed by her noisy, elderly roommate, she requested a private room, feeling isolated as her family was away and her friends were busy.
News of Lin Yang's fall spread quickly at her company, with exaggerated rumors claiming she had tumbled down thirty steps and might be paralyzed. Meanwhile, Li Tian, who had secretly returned to China, was coerced by her sister into working at her brother-in-law's company. From her hospital bed, Lin Yang found Lu Zhengan's numerous messages tiresome.
Later, she limped to a nearby restaurant to meet Xie Nanke for lunch, where she heard a new temporary secretary in her early twenties had been hired at her company. Xie Nanke had to leave early for an urgent meeting but told her that Lu Zhengan was back and staying with him, which left Lin Yang visibly disappointed. Shortly after, Li Tian messaged Lu Zhengan, announcing her new position as the chairman's secretary.
Lu Zhengan immediately realized she had replaced Lin Yang at her company. He frantically called Li Tian for details about the hospitalization, but she knew nothing. Overwhelmed with anxiety, Lu Zhengan rushed out, desperately trying to find which hospital she was in and eventually calling Lin Yang's mother. At the same time, Lin Yang was filled with despair, reflecting on how her five years of hard work had been erased in less than a day, leaving her feeling replaceable.
She recalled Yao Dan’s words about having "more possibilities" because she had nothing, but she yearned to know what those possibilities were. Lin Yang then received a call from her mother. Though she tried to offer her usual reassurances, she was on the verge of tears as her mother expressed concern about her living alone and mentioned that Lu Zhengan had called asking for her address.
Deeply emotional after the call, Lin Yang turned to see Lu Zhengan standing behind her, calling out "Wifey." It was their first meeting in four years, and Lin Yang felt utterly embarrassed to be seen in such a vulnerable state by someone she still saw as a "little kid." Despite her discomfort, Lu Zhengan walked over and pulled her into a comforting embrace.
