Oh My Lord Episode 15 (Ending) Recap
> Oh My Lord Recap
Bai Li had prepared a romantic setting to welcome Chen Youyou back and began a shadow play. He narrated their journey together, telling the story of a little wild cat, always alone, who sharpened its claws to avoid being bullied. Everyone feared it until a girl appeared and tirelessly showed it kindness, giving it the sweetest watermelon, the warmest clothes, and showing it the brightest stars.
Her kindness made the cat experience happiness for the first time, and it grew used to being touched and embraced. But one day, the girl disappeared, having stolen its heart and leaving its life colorless. The cat searched endlessly, crossing forests, hills, and rivers, until it finally found her. It resolved that this time, no matter what, it would never let her leave again.
After the shadow play, Bai Li directly asked Chen Youyou how she could leave him alone after stealing his heart. Chen Youyou, still worried for his life, offered to return his heart if it would keep him safe. Bai Li passionately declared that he had fallen in love with her and his heart would now only beat for her.
He recalled a theatrical performance, stating that when love runs deep, life and death intertwine, and without her, he would rather die. He assured her that he wasn't afraid of ruin, even if Jiang Bihan knew his secret, adding that Jiang Bihan had already left his mansion and would no longer trouble them. He reminded Chen Youyou that she was the one who illuminated his life when it was filled with darkness after he stopped being Su Wen.
He asked her to entrust her entire self to him, promising to protect her and their home from all hardships, asserting that as Lord Qiansui, there was nothing he couldn't handle. Chen Youyou, moved by his words, apologized. Bai Li then playfully accused her of spending her days with other attractive men, making him sad. Chen Youyou retorted, mentioning his encounter with Jiang Bihan in his room. Bai Li smiled, realizing she had secretly returned to check on him.
He then confessed that if it weren't for her, he would never lose control, even risking his life. He touched her heart, asking if it hurt, and she confirmed it did. Upon their return to the mansion, Gu Tianhe and the staff held a joyful welcome celebration, chanting well wishes for their marriage. Bai Li promised to spend his lifetime making up for not giving her a perfect wedding, a promise Chen Youyou made him swear not to break.
She affectionately addressed him as "my love," and he declared that from now on, her home would always be wherever he was. As they were about to enjoy their wedding night, Chen Youyou suddenly experienced stomach pain. Bai Li panicked and loudly called for Gu Tianhe to summon an imperial physician, but Chen Youyou quickly stopped him, clarifying that it was simply her monthly period.
Bai Li, relieved and embarrassed, immediately doted on her, offering her a bitter herbal drink and saying he would suffer the pain for her in their next life. Gu Tianhe, unaware of Chen Youyou's true condition, mistakenly thought she was ill due to marriage. He brought a variety of sweets and preserved fruits, along with a bowl of iced watermelon, which Bai Li had prepared for Chen Youyou earlier.
Bai Li, furious that he brought cold food during her period, angrily sent Gu Tianhe away. Gu Tianhe later intercepted Tiao, who was bringing a special sweet soup to relieve Chen Youyou's pain, warning her not to disturb the couple or she would suffer punishment at "the old place" just like him. Gu Tianhe then resignedly went to "the old place," where he was tied up and tickled on his feet as punishment.
Meanwhile, Qi Zhengwen decided to let go of his feelings for Chen Youyou. He closed down his secret pastry-making spot and delivered instruments to the Jixiang Small Restaurant as a gift. He also presented Chen Youyou with an improved version of his "friendship cake," suggesting they become good friends who share pastry-making knowledge. Bai Li, displaying a touch of jealousy, took a bite of the cake.
Qi Zhengwen then announced his departure to travel to various city-states to study pastry techniques, but not without warning Bai Li to treat Chen Youyou well, or he would return to take her away. Bai Li confidently assured him there would be no need. Later, Bai Li, still plagued by insecurity despite their reconciliation, had a nightmare, waking up in a cold sweat and calling out Chen Youyou’s name.
Chen Youyou comforted him, reminding him of her promise to stay by his side forever. She suggested they visit Tanmen temple on the fifteenth, as he was on vacation, to pray for blessings. She offered to protect his dreams from then on. Bai Li, to Gu Tianhe’s surprise, agreed to this, setting aside his usual skepticism about gods and Buddha, his only focus being to make Chen Youyou happy.
As they traveled to Tanmen temple by carriage, Chen Youyou outlined their schedule, including separate sleeping arrangements due to the temple's sacred nature, which Bai Li playfully protested. Upon arriving at the temple, Bai Li felt an unsettling sense of familiarity with the surroundings and even thought he recognized someone he saw, making him wary. Gu Tianhe, ever vigilant, vowed to protect them both. Inside the temple, Chen Youyou knelt to pray.
She sincerely petitioned Buddha to bless her husband, Bai Li, describing him as a good man who upholds justice, performs good deeds, and has been kind to her. She spoke of his years of burden and secrets, and how he now suffered from nightmares, pleading for Buddha to remove his affliction or, if necessary, transfer the suffering to her. Bai Li, having overheard her prayer, joined her, kneeling beside her.
He also prayed to Buddha, asking not to heed Chen Youyou's offer to bear his pain. He emphasized that she was the sole light in his dark life and wished for her to remain healthy and joyful by his side, offering to take on any pain or suffering she might endure instead. As he finished his prayer, he heard a noise from behind the Buddha statue and went to investigate.
Chen Youyou followed close behind, but as they entered an adjacent room, they were ambushed. Chen Youyou was forcefully taken away, and as Bai Li looked up, he was confronted by his master. His master sternly reprimanded Bai Li for disloyalty, impiety, and unrighteousness, accusing him of neglecting his duties, succumbing to romantic attachments, breaking his vows, and forgetting his original purpose. He then demanded if Bai Li acknowledged his mistakes.
