My Fated Boy Episode 6 Recap
> My Fated Boy Recap
Following his successful new song launch, Lin Yang finds Lu Zhengan in a cramped, damp room provided by his company. Her concern turns to anger when his boss, Ma Le, arrives to rush a still-unwell Lu Zhengan to a dinner with a crucial sponsor. Lin Yang confronts Ma Le, lambasting him for the squalid living conditions and for exploiting the young artist she calls his label's "biggest star."
Though Lu Zhengan tries to defend his boss, Lin Yang asserts her authority as his protective older sister and tells him to pack his things. As they leave together, Lu Zhengan secretly reflects that Lin Yang has always been his family. On the walk, Lin Yang expresses her frustration that he signed a major contract without consulting her or his lawyer cousin.
Lu Zhengan explains that no one in his family supported his music, prompting Lin Yang to declare she is now his family in Qingning and will protect him. Arriving at her apartment, she has a brief moment of regret, while he silently muses, "It's easier to invite a demon in than to send him away." The next morning, Lin Yang is startled to find a shirtless Lu Zhengan in her apartment. At that moment, his cousin Xie Nanke calls her.
While she explains that Lu Zhengan is now living with her and that seeing him perform has made her a supporter of his music, Lu Zhengan emerges having used her bath towel, leading to a playful argument that Xie Nanke overhears. Later, Lin Yang notices a scar on Lu Zhengan's back. He reveals he never removed it because it was a memento from her.
When she shows him a scar of her own to compete, he moves closer, causing her heart to race. Flustered by her reaction and realizing that the boy she grew up with is now a handsome man, she retreats to her room. To establish clear boundaries, Lin Yang lays out a set of house rules. She clarifies their arrangement is "shared accommodation," not "cohabitation."
The rules include: keeping his residency a secret, forbidding him from entering her room while allowing her free access to his, requiring him to wear proper attire at all times, prohibiting him from touching her personal belongings, and never mentioning her personal life to her mother or his cousin. Finally, she asserts her unconditional authority.
In response, Lu Zhengan makes one request: that he handles all housework and prepares three meals a day, explaining that as someone "dependent on her," he should contribute. Lin Yang is visibly charmed by his offer, and her resolve softens further the next day when he surprises her with a homemade breakfast. Meanwhile, Li Tian has a tearful argument with her older sister, Li Miaomiao.
Li Tian accuses her sister of being unfeeling, especially for forcing her to work as Lin Yang's assistant. Li Miaomiao criticizes Li Tian for being immature and obsessed with romance. The argument is interrupted by Li Miaomiao's husband, Mr. Hua, who reveals that Lu Zhengan's new music video has gone viral overnight, with brands desperately trying to reach him. Hearing this, Li Tian abandons her plan to run away, suddenly captivated by the news of his success.
As Lu Zhengan's song plays throughout the city, he remains unfazed by his overnight fame. He dismisses the flood of commercial offers presented by a frantic Ma Le, believing brands are only interested in his looks, not his music. Ma Le, suspecting Lin Yang's influence, warns him against pursuing a relationship now that he's a rising star.
Lu Zhengan retorts that his entire reason for returning to Qingning was to pursue a relationship, a fact Ma Le knew before he even signed the contract. Later, while shopping with her friends Yao Dan and Cao Ling, Lin Yang fails to reach Lu Zhengan by phone. Cao Ling warns her that as his closest confidante, she is bound to attract rivals, just as they spot Li Tian. Lin Yang confronts her insubordinate assistant and fires her.
Li Tian defiantly refuses, stating that only Mr. Hua can dismiss her, and threatens to ruin Lu Zhengan's reputation by exposing their living arrangement. Just then, Li Miaomiao arrives. Impressed by Lin Yang's discretion and maturity, she apologizes for her sister's behavior and decides Li Tian is unsuited to be an assistant, arranging for her to be transferred to the business department for proper training.
