Oh My Lord Episode 11 Recap
> Oh My Lord Recap
Chen Youyou found herself grappling with the declining business of the Fortune Shop. She considered seeking Bai Li's help but quickly dismissed the thought, reminding herself that they had agreed to maintain some distance and that she needed to solve problems independently as the shop's owner. Meanwhile, upon learning of the Fortune Shop's struggles, Qi Shengwen decided to seek Madam De's counsel.
Madam De advised him that to truly win someone's heart, one must understand their deepest desires rather than making decisions for them, using the analogy of offering peaches to someone who desires apples. Later, His Royal Highness Qi Shengwen arrived at the shop with two apples, which initially startled Chen Youyou, making her wonder if he knew about her father's true fate.
She tried to refuse the apples, explaining that she had moved out of Bai's Mansion and could no longer help him gather information on Bai Li. Qi Shengwen interrupted her, clarifying that he had never asked her to spy on Bai Li. He revealed that the apples were a blessing, symbolizing Chen Youyou and Bai Li as a perfectly matched couple.
He then pointedly advised her that since she was now romantically linked with Bai Li, she should refrain from getting too close to other men, especially himself (Qi Shengwen). The next morning, Bai Li appeared at the Fortune Shop, determined to make breakfast for Chen Youyou himself. His culinary attempt, however, filled the kitchen with smoke and almost set the place ablaze, leaving him covered in soot.
While he tried to win her over with a hastily made glutinous rice cake with yams, Qi Shengwen also arrived, bringing a handmade cat nest and food for a kitten Chen Youyou once had. The two men immediately began to bicker over Chen Youyou, with Bai Li claiming ownership as her ex-husband and Qi Shengwen asserting his right to pursue her since she was now single.
Fed up with their constant arguing, Chen Youyou decided to go to the market to buy new kitchen supplies, but to her dismay, both men followed her. Their prominent presence in the market caused a stir, freezing all other shoppers in their tracks, which frustrated Chen Youyou so much that she aborted her shopping trip. On their way back, Bai Li accidentally bumped into a small child, who immediately burst into tears.
Unsure how to comfort the crying child, Bai Li stood awkwardly while the child's parents, fearing to offend him, repeatedly apologized. Chen Youyou stepped in, soothing the child and gently chiding Bai Li for his stern demeanor, which had scared the little one. Back at the Fortune Shop, Chen Youyou asked both men to leave. Bai Li, however, tried to prolong his stay, claiming he was too sleepy to leave.
His attendant, Xiao Tiao, misunderstood his intentions and returned to Bai Mansion to retrieve Bai Li's bed, hoping to accommodate his master at the shop. This exposed Bai Li’s true motive, leaving him embarrassed and forcing him to return home. At Bai's Mansion, a woman from Bai's Mansion mistakenly believed Bai Li's angry return signaled a renewed interest in her. Buoyed by this thought, she prepared epiphyllum cakes for him.
To her shock, she stumbled upon Bai Li meticulously grooming himself, getting dressed up not for her, but implicitly for Chen Youyou. He was so engrossed in his preparations that he didn't even notice her presence. Back at the Fortune Shop, Chen Youyou faced a new challenge. Many women she had previously rescued, having nowhere else to go, returned, seeking refuge and asking to live at the shop.
Overwhelmed by the sudden influx of dependents and the shop's already poor business, Chen Youyou was torn. Despite her financial struggles, she couldn't bring herself to refuse them, agreeing to let them stay while she figured out a solution. Seeing Chen Youyou distressed, Bai Li took her to a scenic spot with a panoramic view of Fuxian City to watch the stars.
He comforted her, encouraging her to believe in her own strength and reminding her that success is never achieved overnight. While gazing at the stars, Chen Youyou found a spark of inspiration. The idea came to her that if she could capture the attention of everyone in Fuxian City, she could save the Fortune Shop. She decided to host a "Talent show," distributing flyers to invite performers. However, the initial response was dismal.
Due to the Fortune Shop's notorious past association with abducting women, no one dared to sign up. Upon hearing this, Bai Li decided to offer himself as the "biggest stunt" in Fuxian City, planning to participate in the show to draw crowds. He hurried to the Fortune Shop, only to find that Qi Shengwen had already arrived, and the place was bustling with eager participants.
Chen Youyou, seeing Bai Li, explained that since he had previously expressed disinterest in such "empty titles," she had asked the talented and influential Qi Shengwen to participate, which would surely encourage others to follow suit. This revelation left Bai Li seething with jealousy. Separately, Qi Shengwen, deeply reflecting on Madam De's earlier advice about truly understanding a person's desires, stood before a portrait of his mother. He expressed his conviction that he had finally found the woman he was meant to be with, assuring his late mother that Chen Youyou was a truly wonderful person.
