The Night of the Comet Episode 2 Recap
> The Night of the Comet Recap
Lin Xiaoxiao is in bed, dreaming of being with Cheng Hao. Lu Hongjian, who is Cheng Hao's doppelganger in this parallel universe and also Lin Xiaoxiao's childhood friend, barges in. Lu Hongjian is an unsuccessful novelist plagued by misfortune. On the day he finishes his novel, his computer explodes, destroying his manuscript and injuring him. This is the same day that Cheng Hao travels through time. Lu Hongjian sees Cheng Hao's poster and notices their resemblance.
He goes to a fortune teller, giving his own birthdate under Cheng Hao's name. The fortune teller warns him that his birthdate clashes with the name Cheng Hao and that he should avoid going out to prevent misfortune. Desperate after losing his manuscript, Lu Hongjian seeks help from Lin Xiaoxiao, asking her to take him in. Lu Hongjian complains to Lin Xiaoxiao about his bad luck, and she reluctantly agrees to help him financially.
After getting her credit card, Lu Hongjian, who has feelings for Lin Xiaoxiao, tries to kiss her, but she pushes him away. Cheng Hao learns from his assistant about Lu Hongjian, an obscure novelist who looks just like him, and decides to keep an eye on him. Cheng Hao learns that Lu Hongjian is an unknown net novelist who almost earns no money and lives on his female friends to support his life.
Cheng Hao inquires about his current whereabouts, and the assistant informs him that Lu Hongjian bought a ticket to Hainan, possibly to evade creditors. Cheng Hao's entertainment company wants to promote Xu Miao, the niece of the company's boss, who is struggling to become famous. The company assigns Lin Xiaoxiao to cover Xu Miao's collaboration with Cheng Hao, hoping to boost her popularity, so Lin Xiaoxiao becomes Xu Miao's assistant.
Teacher Wu tells Lin Xiaoxiao that she has to take this chance, because Xu Miao is Boss Xu's relative and if Lin Xiaoxiao completes this mission, she can get much reward, otherwise, how does she repay her debt? While Cheng Hao is on location in Hainan for a photoshoot, Lin Xiaoxiao discovers Lu Hongjian impersonating Cheng Hao. She demands that he return her credit card, but he runs away. Lu Hongjian hides in a hotel, where he encounters Cheng Hao.
They are both shocked by their identical appearances. Lin Xiaoxiao chases Lu Hongjian into the hotel and mistakenly confronts Cheng Hao, who is wearing a bathrobe. She accidentally pulls off his bathrobe. Cheng Hao throws the robe at her and escapes back to his room. Later, Xu Miao knocks on Cheng Hao's door in the middle of the night, attempting to seduce him. Lin Xiaoxiao secretly photographs the encounter.
Cheng Hao politely rejects Xu Miao and warns her about the consequences of being caught, sending her away. Lin Xiaoxiao realizes that Cheng Hao is aware of her secret photography. She feels guilty for betraying him for money. Disguising herself as room service, Lin Xiaoxiao enters Cheng Hao's room, but he catches her. They struggle and fall together, almost kissing.
