Oh My Lord Episode 12 Recap
> Oh My Lord Recap
With the help of Bai Li and Qi Shengwen, the talent show at the Fortune Shop proceeded enthusiastically. Qi Shengwen, also known as the Little Prince, assisted in the show. Distinguished guests, including Madam De and Prince Xian, attended the event, where various pastries were served and enjoyed by all.
Chen Youyou then presented the show, announcing that its theme was not about appreciating conventional beauty or ugliness, but about "appreciating the heart," aiming to inspire a different kind of beauty in everyone. As the show was about to reach its climax, a dancer for the finale was injured, leaving Chen Youyou no choice but to step in and perform herself. Her heartfelt performance and the profound message she conveyed deeply moved Madam De.
Consequently, Madam De announced that the Fuxian City's "Most Beautiful Woman" ranking would be restarted, but with new criteria that would consider a person's character and talent in addition to their appearance. For the grand finale, Madam De proposed the "double Zhezhi dance," a performance she used to share with the former castellan. As Chen Youyou took the stage to dance, she was joined by Bai Li, who became her unexpected partner.
They danced joyfully to the applause of the crowd, and they shared a romantic kiss behind the curtain. This tender moment, however, was witnessed by Qi Shengwen from afar. Heartbroken by what he saw, Qi Shengwen, who had harbored feelings for Chen Youyou and intended to confess, realized his dreams were just that. After the show, he found Chen Youyou and offered her the pastries he had made especially for her, wishing the Fortune Shop success.
Then, he confessed his deep affection, recounting how he had felt a connection with her from their first meeting and vowed to protect her. He admitted he had once hoped to take her away from Bai Li to live a carefree life, but seeing her hold Bai Li's hand made him realize his perceptions were merely his own wishes.
Chen Youyou, moved by his sincerity, kindly told him that she regarded him as her dearest friend, emphasizing that he was the kindest person she knew. She expressed her happiness in their shared adventures but gently explained that her eyes only lit up when she saw Bai Li, like seeing stars in the sky. Qi Shengwen, clutching the hairpin he intended to give her, lamented not meeting her earlier, but ultimately accepted her decision.
He told her he didn't want his feelings to be a burden and promised to silently stand by her, wishing her happiness. Later, Bai Li apologized to Chen Youyou for his earlier jealousy towards Qi Shengwen, admitting he feared losing her. Chen Youyou playfully teased him for his lack of confidence, and they spent the evening in lighthearted banter, reluctant to part ways.
As Bai Li was about to leave, Chen Youyou quickly stopped him, claiming her window was broken and asking for his help. When Gu Tianhe offered to assist, Bai Li swiftly pushed him aside, eager to stay with Chen Youyou. Inside her room, while pretending to examine the "broken" window, Bai Li was overcome with emotion and spontaneously kissed Chen Youyou.
During the kiss, Chen Youyou noticed Bai Li's Adam's apple felt more pronounced and worried about his throat condition, suggesting she find a doctor. This prompted Bai Li to confess a long-held secret. Bai Li revealed his true identity as Su Wen, the son of Imperial Physician Su. He explained that his entire family was tragically killed after his father was framed for poisoning the former castellan.
He was the sole survivor, rescued by Wang Renhou, the former castellan's personal eunuch, and had lived under the disguise of a eunuch ever since. His sole purpose was to uncover the truth behind his family's demise and clear their name. Chen Youyou was deeply shocked and heartbroken to learn of the immense hardships Bai Li had endured. Overwhelmed with empathy, she vowed to protect him wholeheartedly.
She assured him that no matter his path—whether to remain anonymous or seek revenge—she would stand by his side. Bai Li was profoundly moved by her unwavering support and promised that one day he would shed his false identity to give her his true self and a real home, where they could build a family and have children, free from any pretense. Chen Youyou reaffirmed that his identity held no importance to her, only his safety, and she solemnly swore to guard his secret.
