Rewriting Destiny Episode 7 Recap
> Rewriting Destiny Recap
Xia Yubing, now fully aware of her terminal illness, felt increasingly unwell, experiencing dizziness and coughing up blood. When Xu Ziyan noticed her symptoms, he realized her condition was critical. Before she could even finish her thoughts, Xia Yubing fainted. After bringing her back to the Xu Manor, Xu Ziyan prepared medicine, insisting she drink it. He promised she wouldn't die, proclaiming, "If I don't allow you to die, you can't die," emphasizing the validity of their engagement.
Despite her initial reluctance, believing her disease to be incurable and wishing to die in peace, Xu Ziyan forcefully administered the medicine. A few days later, Xia Yubing remained withdrawn, refusing to take her medicine. She eventually left her room and discovered books in Xu Ziyan's study, specifically one titled "Only Morality is Distantly Fragrant," which indicated his genuine efforts to find a cure for her.
Shortly after, she encountered the mysterious Boss (Gu Gu), who explained that her inaction as the protagonist was causing their comic world to unravel, threatening everyone's existence. The Boss warned that if she didn't take initiative, all the characters would disappear, with her being the last. Though initially despairing, Xia Yubing was reminded that while there might be no cure "now", that didn't preclude a future solution, especially in a comic world where settings could be broken.
Realizing that taking initiative could save everyone, she resolved to fight her illness. As Xia Yubing began to take action, the world around her stabilized, and the people who had disappeared returned. Learning of her condition, Deputy Administrator Xue Mu gathered many esteemed doctors from Yanxia Town, including former palace physicians, to diagnose her. Xu Ziyan, also arriving to check on her, encountered Dr. Li, who confirmed the collective effort to treat Miss Xia's "intractable disease."
Seeing Xia Yubing with Xue Mu, Xu Ziyan became visibly angry. He confronted Xia Yubing, asserting that he alone possessed the cure for her illness. He reminded her of their contractual agreement and instructed her to maintain a proper distance from Xue Mu to prevent gossip, a conversation Xue Mu discreetly overheard. Meanwhile, Xia Lan, still imprisoned, caused a commotion over food. A guard attempted to punish her, but Xue Mu intervened, citing the Criminal Law against abusing suspects.
He personally brought her food and promised to secure her release, earning Xia Lan's gratitude. However, Xue Mu's true motive was to use Xia Lan as a means to investigate the suspicious circumstances surrounding his parents' death. To further his plan, Xue Mu visited Xu Ziyan's father (Xu Guangling), presenting a gift and asking him to intercede for Xia Lan.
He argued that familial discord between Xia Lan and Xia Yubing would reflect poorly on Xia Yubing as the Xu family's daughter-in-law. Xu Ziyan's father, wishing to spare Xia Yubing further distress, agreed but secretly perceived Xue Mu as a deeply calculating individual with hidden agendas. Xia Yubing later commissioned a painter to create a portrait, ensuring her face was not clearly depicted, humorously attributing it to doing good deeds anonymously.
She then sought advice from Ye Wenzhao on how to reconcile with Xu Ziyan. Ye Wenzhao, observing Xu Ziyan's reserved nature, advised Xia Yubing to always agree with Xu Ziyan, saying "You're right" to his words, "Good job" to his actions, and "Hubby! You're always the correct one!" even if he was mistaken. As an alternative, he jokingly suggested employing a "beauty trap."
During their meal, Xia Yubing accidentally choked, and Ye Wenzhao patted her back, a scene witnessed by both Xia Liuqing and Xu Ziyan, leaving them both feeling displeased. Upon her release from prison, Xia Lan's brother organized a celebratory ceremony. Xia Lan recognized Xia Yubing in the portrait as the person who had reported her. Fueled by a deeper hatred, she vowed revenge, telling her brother to "make her crawl."
Soon after, three men, hired by Xia Lan to kidnap Xia Yubing, mistakenly kidnapped Ye Wenzhao. The kidnappers, upon realizing their error, decided to kill Ye Wenzhao to prevent identification. However, Ye Wenzhao cleverly negotiated, offering money if they delivered a ransom note to his father, which they eventually agreed to. Xia Liuqing then arrived at the hideout, attempting to rescue Ye Wenzhao, inadvertently revealing that she was the intended target. The kidnappers then tied up Xia Liuqing as well.
Xia Yubing learned of the double kidnapping and immediately set out to rescue them. Arriving at the hideout, she presented a fake deed for the snack shop, but the kidnappers quickly identified it as fraudulent due to an inverted seal. Just as they prepared to harm her, Xu Ziyan appeared, carrying the real deed. While the kidnappers were distracted by Xu Ziyan's arrival, Xia Liuqing managed to untie herself and engaged them in a fight.
Ye Wenzhao bravely shielded Xia Liuqing from an attack, sustaining an injury to his arm. Together, they managed to subdue the kidnappers. Back home, Xia Yubing attempted to apologize to Xu Ziyan, adhering strictly to Ye Wenzhao's advice. When Xu Ziyan teasingly implied they should complete their marital obligations before he wrote divorce papers, Xia Yubing awkwardly responded with apologies.
She then asked if the deed Xu Ziyan had exchanged was fake, only to be utterly shocked when he confirmed it was genuine. Realizing the gravity of the situation and suspecting Xia Lan's involvement, Xia Yubing braced herself for further confrontation. Meanwhile, Xia Lan, reveling in possession of the actual snack shop deed, was startled by a ghostly figure appearing outside her door.
