My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Episode 1 Recap
> My Girlfriend Is an Alien 2 Recap
On July 7, 2021, Fang Leng, the president of Fang Group, was celebrating a momentous day. Not only had he successfully developed the Hormone Element, a substance extracted from the human body poised to revolutionize perfume by promoting dopamine secretion and happiness, but he was also marrying his beloved fiancée, Chai Xiaoqi.
As the wedding ceremony began, Chai Xiaoqi reflected on their journey: an alien from Cape Town Planet, she had crash-landed on Earth in 2019 and saved Fang Leng from a car accident, accidentally leaving her planet's signaller in his heart. This serendipitous event intertwined their destinies, transforming them from argumentative adversaries to intimate lovers who had overcome life-and-death challenges.
She felt that it was Fang Leng, not the signaller, that truly made her want to stay, affirming that her home was wherever he was. During the ceremony, both Fang Leng and Chai Xiaoqi affirmed their commitment to marry and be lifelong companions in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth.
Fang Leng then presented Chai Xiaoqi with a heart-shaped sapphire ring, which he explained was the same sapphire she had left behind when she first rescued him, now a cherished love token. As they exchanged rings and shared a celebratory kiss, a sudden and alarming event unfolded. Time seemed to freeze for everyone present, except for Fang Leng, who watched helplessly as a spaceship descended and abducted both Chai Xiaoqi and her companion, Xiao Bu, taking them far from Earth.
On Cape Town Planet, Chai Xiaoqi found herself imprisoned. Woken by Xiao Bu, she knew she faced severe judgment. Fearing the consequences, she quickly used her abilities to extract all her memories with Fang Leng and stored them within the sapphire ring, instructing Xiao Bu to guard it.
Meanwhile, the council on Cape Town Planet declared that Jilisikaqiusuolakalaka No. Seven had arbitrarily fallen in love with an Earthling, a violation of planetary law, and deserved a lifetime exile as a warning to all citizens who might betray their planet's beliefs. However, a leader candidate intervened, arguing that Chai Xiaoqi was merely affected by Earth's hormones, which could enchant Cape Townians and impair their judgment.
He revealed that Fang Leng had refined these hormones into a more potent Hormone Element, posing a significant threat to their planet. The candidate proposed a strategic countermeasure: using Chai Xiaoqi's identity as Fang Leng's wife, she could be sent back to Earth to steal the Hormone Element for research, thus resolving the root of the problem. He offered to vouch for her, ensuring her life would be spared under the condition of a complete system upgrade.
This upgrade involved deleting all her memories of Earth and implanting new ones. In this new reality, Fang Leng was portrayed as a villain who developed the Hormone Element, had bullied and even forcibly married her, making him her husband by law but an irreconcilable enemy. The candidate warned her not to be influenced by hormones again. After their system upgrades, Xiao Bu transformed into a human form, much to her excitement and Chai Xiaoqi's delight.
The organization provided them with many outfits, but Chai Xiaoqi chose the bulkiest, believing it was the prettiest, despite Xiao Bu’s concerns about air resistance and ground friction on Earth. They also received a Hormone Collector, which looked rather humorous. Chai Xiaoqi learned that the sapphire from her ring had been converted into this collector due to its vast storage capacity.
Their mission was clear: to rapidly land on Earth, precisely locate the Hormone Element, and then ruthlessly teach Fang Leng a lesson. Chai Xiaoqi felt confident, having received an upgraded firewall against hormones and a secret ultimate weapon. Their journey was abruptly interrupted when their spaceship collided with a meteorite, violently separating them and sending them spiraling into a wormhole. They were forcefully thrown onto Earth, landing in 2018.
Chai Xiaoqi found herself near the site of Fang Group's new product launch, where Fang Leng was expected to appear. To avoid swarming fans, Fang Leng, accompanied by Mr. Han, decided to enter through the back door. As Chai Xiaoqi landed, her skirt snagged on a high fence, causing her to fall. Fang Leng, spotting her, quickly rushed forward and caught her, with Chai Xiaoqi landing directly on him.
Instantly, the potent scent of human hormones enveloped her, making her feel incredibly heady and craving more. Fang Leng, embarrassed, tried to extricate himself, but Chai Xiaoqi clung to him, wanting to inhale more of the captivating scent. Only with the arrival of Mr. Han, his assistant, did Fang Leng manage to finally stand up and leave. Perplexed, Chai Xiaoqi wondered why Fang Leng, her husband, did not recognize her.
At the product launch, a crowd of female fans, some even in wedding dresses, clamored for Fang Leng's attention, all wishing to be "Mrs. Fang." During the interview, Fang Leng, the esteemed president and makeup ambassador, introduced himself and spoke of the "New Female Power" theme, emphasizing that his products aimed to empower all women to showcase their unique charm. When asked about his marital status, he confirmed he was single, stating that love depended on fate.
His answers regarding his ideal type—long-haired, double-eyelidded, gentle—angered Chai Xiaoqi, who internally deemed his choices unbelievable and excessive. Unable to contain herself, she stormed onto the stage, declaring the truth: she was Mrs. Fang, and Fang Leng was already married. Her dramatic announcement caused an immediate uproar, as other women also surged forward, vehemently claiming to be Mrs. Fang.
Mistaking Chai Xiaoqi for an overly zealous fan, Fang Leng calmly tried to placate her, promising a special gift if she would step down. Unyielding, Chai Xiaoqi refused. As Mr. Han and security guards attempted to escort her away, reminding her that Fang Leng was single, Chai Xiaoqi tried to use her time-stopping superpower. To her shock, it had no effect on Fang Leng, leading her to realize that he might be immune due to carrying the Hormone Element.
Embarrassed, she vanished from the stage. Meanwhile, Xiao Bu, whose system had been damaged during the crash, was found lying on an airport bench. When airport security approached her, demanding identification, Xiao Bu, unable to comply in her human form, bolted. Coincidentally, Fang Lie, Fang Leng's brother, who was supposed to be studying abroad but was secretly hiding out, mistook the security for people looking for him and joined Xiao Bu in her frantic escape.
They managed to hide in a secluded spot, but Xiao Bu's system, already impaired and overheated from the chase, completely collapsed, reverting her to her original tortoise form. Elsewhere, Chai Xiaoqi infiltrated Fang Leng's apartment, searching for the Hormone Element. She noticed that the password had been changed and there were no signs of her belongings, leading her to believe he had cut ties with her. Fang Leng suddenly returned home, forcing Chai Xiaoqi to hide.
Despite her efforts, Fang Leng eventually discovered her. Chai Xiaoqi brazenly introduced herself as Jilisikaqiusuolakalaka No. Seven, or Chai Xiaoqi, and asserted her right to be in his home as his wife, demanding the Hormone Element and accusing him of faking amnesia. Though Fang Leng suspected she might be mentally unstable, he called Mr. Han to investigate her and their supposed relationship.
Fang Leng explained his "rainy weather heterosexual amnesia," which caused him to forget women he had recently met after rainfall. However, Mr. Han found no records of Chai Xiaoqi in Fang Leng's extensive memory database, concluding she couldn't be a forgotten ex-girlfriend. Fang Leng was left baffled by her familiar demeanor and insistence on living in his home, while Mr. Han dismissed her as just another obsessed fan. Fang Leng ordered an upgrade of his home and company security systems.
Later, Chai Xiaoqi finally located Xiao Bu, who had crawled all night to find her, still in her overheating tortoise form. Xiao Bu revealed the crucial detail: the current Earth time was October 10, 2018, which meant their spaceship's unexpected intervention had caused them to land one year earlier than intended. Chai Xiaoqi was dismayed, realizing this was why Fang Leng did not recognize her; they hadn't even met yet in this timeline, as their first encounter was in 2019.
The impact of their landing had also damaged Xiao Bu's central nerve, rendering their signaller broken, meaning they couldn't contact Cape Town Planet. Despair set in as Chai Xiaoqi realized they were stranded, and the Hormone Element hadn't even been developed yet in this era. However, Xiao Bu made a breakthrough discovery: Chai Xiaoqi's sapphire collector contained a small amount of male Earthling hormone. Chai Xiaoqi immediately recalled landing on Fang Leng and realized it must have been collected then.
Xiao Bu explained that while the signaller was broken, collecting a full bar of hormone with the collector could also automatically send a signal back to their home planet. This provided a new path to return home even without the Hormone Element. Excited, Chai Xiaoqi attempted to collect hormones from other men, specifically trying to emulate dance moves from "Produce 101 China."
She soon discovered that she did not experience the same "heady" sensation, and people reacted to her attempts as if she were insane. She even caused a scene at a milk tea shop by giving the assistant valuable alien crystals as payment for her drink, which the assistant did not recognize. Chai Xiaoqi deduced that the problem wasn't her technique, but the source of the hormones. She speculated that she could only collect hormones from Fang Leng. With Xiao Bu still struggling with system issues, Chai Xiaoqi resolved to find Fang Leng and continue her mission.
