Go Into Your Heart Episode 10 Recap
> Go Into Your Heart Recap
Cheng Liao had no choice but to stay at Sheng Jingchu's house after her father called her, advising her not to come home late due to the heavy rain and ensuring her safety. Cheng Liao informed Sheng Jingchu of her father's instructions, to which he simply responded. They spent the evening watching the movie "My Neighbor Totoro," which Sheng Jingchu had apparently never seen before.
Afterward, Sheng Jingchu made the bed for Cheng Liao and placed a glass of water by her bedside, wishing her a good night. Cheng Liao thanked him for taking her in, and they both retired for the evening. The next morning, Cheng Liao woke up early, planning to go to her office to organize materials and report to Xu Chi, stating she had completely moved on from him.
Meanwhile, her heartwarming interview about the Jiuzhou Dojo was met with praise from Mr. Xie and Cao Xihe, who was even moved to tears by the deep emotions portrayed. However, Cheng Liao was soon reprimanded by her director, Ms. Liu. Ms. Liu demanded "juicy scoops" and Sheng Jingchu's appearance in the interview, asserting that Cheng Liao's connections to Xu Chi, Sheng Jingchu, or even her sister Cheng Yi, would not save her job if the show failed.
A frustrated Cheng Liao confided in a colleague, lamenting that her show was deemed inadequate because it didn't sensationalize. She questioned if her career would always involve fabricating drama and being scolded for presenting truth, but her colleague advised her to get used to it. Cheng Liao, however, declared her refusal to accept such a reality, proclaiming her unwavering resilience. Cheng Yi presented her new project proposal for a Go-themed series titled "Showdown of Grandmasters."
She announced that her current show, "Sincere Conversation," was nearing its end, and she intended to dedicate its final episodes to the Jiuzhou Four Seas Cup Go invitational tournament. Cheng Yi emphasized her profound respect for Go as the most complex and unpredictable chess game and her long-held desire to interview renowned players from the Jiuzhou Dojo, including Zhao Yan Xun and Kato Kiyomasa, assuring the team of the project's high potential for viewership.
Mr. Gao, the boss, approved the concept, recognizing the growing interest in Go, especially after "the Universal Challenge" boosted Sheng Jingchu's popularity. He promised to secure additional staff, equipment, and funding from the station, encouraging Cheng Yi to make it a success and suggesting it could be a turning point for her career. As Cheng Yi left the TV station, Jiang Yuda confronted her, explaining he had been waiting for days to repay a past loan.
He presented an IOU, revealing he still had no money despite working tirelessly at various jobs, from street performances to flier distribution and food delivery. He then shockingly asked Cheng Yi to lend him an additional 4,500 yuan, bringing the total debt to 5,000 yuan. Furious, Cheng Yi accused him of taking her for a fool and scolded him for "fooling around."
Jiang Yuda broke down, tearfully expressing his despair over the difficulty of pursuing his dream of learning Go, pleading that he did not want to return home empty-handed. Moved by his earnestness, Cheng Yi took him to a restaurant. During their meal, Cheng Yi shared her own early career struggles as an unpaid TV intern, recounting how her perseverance in undertaking every available task—from editing and writing to carrying equipment and assisting presenters—ultimately led to her becoming a successful presenter.
Jiang Yuda was inspired, calling her his "Miss Goddess." Cheng Yi encouraged him further, saying that hardships often lead to more possibilities. Jiang Yuda expressed profound gratitude, calling it the most uplifting conversation he had had since returning to the country. Before leaving, Cheng Yi discreetly paid for his meal. Cheng Liao visited Sheng Jingchu's house to check on the plants she had helped him with.
She noticed one wasn't thriving but reassured him that the sprouts, though fragile in appearance, possessed tenacious vitality and simply needed regular watering. Sheng Jingchu, sensing Cheng Liao's bad mood, expressed his concern. Cheng Liao admitted her frustration because her director had rejected her new show. Understanding her need to vent, Sheng Jingchu offered her free rein in his kitchen, knowing that cooking helped her relieve stress, and even permitted her to make a mess.
Cheng Liao gratefully accepted, asking for some privacy while she cooked. Afterward, her mood significantly improved, though the kitchen was left in disarray. Sheng Jingchu playfully remarked that the kitchen, having been idle for so long, "would be glad to be of use." During their meal, Cheng Liao accidentally opened the garage door, revealing a stunning Ferrari. She expressed surprise that Sheng Jingchu, who is colorblind and cannot drive, owned such a luxurious car.
He explained it was a competition prize and invited her to sit inside. Sheng Jingchu, knowledgeable about driving despite his condition, promised that if he ever regained his color vision, he would get a driver's license and take her for a ride, solidifying the promise with a "pinky swear." Noticing her admiration, Sheng Jingchu casually offered to give her the Ferrari.
Taken aback by the sudden and valuable gift, Cheng Liao initially refused, jokingly stating that such a present would obligate her to cook for him for the rest of her life. The car then unexpectedly died, and Sheng Jingchu, with a smile, teased her that she truly "might have to cook for me for the rest of your life," before revealing it had merely run out of gas.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yuda arrived at Jiuzhou Dojo, initially attempting to become Xiao Lan's apprentice. Cao Xihe, wary of Jiang Yuda's intentions, confronted him. Jiang Yuda then dramatically shifted his request, declaring he wished to apprentice under Cao Xihe instead, noting Cao Xihe's superior 8-dan rank compared to Xiao Lan's 4-dan. After some playful jostling, Cao Xihe realized Jiang Yuda's intentions were purely about Go, not romance.
Jiang Yuda confessed he simply wanted the strongest teacher to become the strongest player. Cao Xihe, acknowledging his ambition, advised Jiang Yuda to seek out "the king," the "Golden Age Tianyuan," Sheng Jingchu, as his true master. Later, while Xu Chi was picking up a package, he coincidentally encountered Jiang Yuda working as a delivery driver. Xu Chi invited him into his office to chat. Jiang Yuda excitedly shared his progress with his "Miss Goddess," having obtained her phone number.
He then inquired about Xu Chi's own romantic endeavors, which had seen no progress. Jiang Yuda advised Xu Chi to be more direct and proactive, warning that his crush might be "snatched away" if he waited too long. Xu Chi mentioned having dinner plans with his beloved, while Jiang Yuda expressed disappointment that his "Miss Goddess" was busy for the evening.
Xu Chi then wisely suggested Jiang Yuda add his "Miss Goddess" on WeChat for easier communication, an idea Jiang Yuda enthusiastically embraced, calling Xu Chi his "Polaris" and thanking him profusely. Jiang Yuda offered to treat Xu Chi to a humble meal as thanks, but Xu Chi insisted on paying. Xu Chi met Cheng Yi and presented her with a new outfit, hoping she would wear it for the significant final episodes of "Sincere Conversation."
Cheng Yi acknowledged his thoughtfulness, reminding him that she valued his care, even if his past efforts for "the Universal Challenge" had not yielded the desired results. Soon after, Cheng Yi received and accepted a WeChat friend request from Jiang Yuda. At the very same moment, Jiang Yuda excitedly called Xu Chi to share the good news that he had successfully added his "Miss Goddess" on WeChat, and Xu Chi offered his congratulations.
Unbeknownst to them, Cheng Yi, smiling, informed Xu Chi that she had just added a male student she had met recently and intended to help him—referring to Jiang Yuda, the same person Jiang Yuda had described as his "Miss Goddess." On her birthday, Cheng Liao was left feeling deeply saddened when both her father and sister, preoccupied with chores and work, seemed to have completely forgotten her special day.
Later, Cao Xihe visited Sheng Jingchu, bringing fruit and attempting to borrow the Ferrari, as he did every year. Sheng Jingchu, however, informed him that he had already given the car to Cheng Liao. Sheng Jingchu then subtly sought Cao Xihe's opinion on whether giving such a valuable gift so suddenly might be considered too abrupt.
Cao Xihe confirmed it would be, but then playfully acknowledged Sheng Jingchu's "unique taste for choosing people," and credited Cheng Liao's recent show for a significant boost in his own Weibo followers. Sheng Jingchu then suggested how Cao Xihe could express his gratitude to Cheng Liao. Shortly thereafter, Xiao Lan called Cheng Liao, inviting her to a karaoke night, explicitly stating that Cao Xihe was sponsoring it and had personally requested Cheng Liao's presence as the "most important VIP."
After a brief hesitation, Cheng Liao accepted the invitation. During a meeting led by Xu Chi, his subordinates received an MMS containing photos of Cheng Yi and Jiang Yuda together. Colleagues reacted with shock and gossip, speculating about Cheng Yi dating a younger man. Xu Chi himself was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the photos and attempted to call Cheng Yi, but her phone was unavailable.
The director, Mr. Gao, called Cheng Yi, severely reprimanding her and condemning her behavior as "outrageous." He informed her that the station's social media accounts were flooded with overwhelmingly negative comments, forcing them to disable the comment section. As a direct consequence, Cheng Yi was removed from her assignment covering the Jiuzhou Four Seas Cup, and her new "Showdown of Grandmasters" talk show series was canceled.
Cheng Yi apologized for the trouble she had inadvertently caused but then bravely challenged Mr. Gao, demanding to know precisely what she had done wrong. She asserted that as a single, unmarried woman, she was not engaging in an affair and was legally old enough to drink. When Mr. Gao insisted she uphold her public image, Cheng Yi passionately retorted that public figures are human beings too.
She pointed out that the photo merely showed her hand resting on Jiang Yuda's shoulder, nothing more. Expressing her profound frustration, she questioned why she was always overlooked for new opportunities despite being considered the "backbone" of the company, especially when her own shows struggled for funding. Tearfully, she confessed that for years, she had suppressed her emotions and refrained from any personal expression on social media, constantly fearing malicious scrutiny. She concluded by stating that if Mr. Gao could truly understand her, he would see her mind filled with the "anguish and bitterness" she had silently endured throughout her career.
