The Secret of Love Episode 30 (Ending) Recap
> The Secret of Love Recap
Li Jiashang desperately held onto Zheng He's hand as Gao Mu relentlessly struck Li Jiashang with an iron rod, mocking their supposed brotherhood. Zheng He, unwilling to drag Li Jiashang down with him, forcefully told him to let go, asserting they would both die otherwise. With a final plea to Li Jiashang, Zheng He deliberately let go, plummeting from the rooftop. Xia Xiyang arrived just in time to witness Zheng He's fall, while Li Jiashang cried out his name.
As Gao Mu continued his assault on Li Jiashang, Su Yi went forward, snatched the precious photograph of Gao Mu's mother from his hand and threw it off the roof. Gao Mu, who cherished the photo of Su Yi's mother, in a frantic attempt to retrieve it, leaped after the photo, also falling from the building. Su Yi, overwhelmed by the events, collapsed, and Li Jiashang immediately rushed her to the hospital.
At the hospital, Li Jiashang kept a vigil by Su Yi's bedside as she lay unconscious. He later informed her, as she was still in a coma, that doctors determined her collapse was due to extreme agitation following a prior craniotomy. He reassured her that while she might sleep for a while, she could also wake soon, adding that it was good for her to rest as she had been exhausted.
He also shared good news: Zheng He had fallen onto a padding and only suffered a mild concussion. Xia Xiyang had found Zheng He, who, despite his injuries, playfully scolded her for crying, confirming he was alive. Both Xia Xiyang and Zheng He were visiting Su Yi daily.
Li Jiashang further updated Su Yi that Zheng He had reported Gao Mu to the police, leading to the arrest of Gao Mu and his accomplice, and that Uncle Zhang had also faced consequences for his actions after being discharged. Earlier, Su Yi had shared a crucial piece of information with Zheng He: Gao Mu had installed a surveillance camera in Zheng Yi's office, and if it was missing, it indicated further tampering.
Zheng He, determined to uncover the truth, initially resisted Su Yi's involvement in what he considered his personal matter, telling her to mind her own business. However, he eventually took the risk, approaching Gao Mu under the guise of cooperation, even as Gao Mu detailed plans for a new Medical Aesthetic Department. Zheng He managed to acquire a special component he believed held secrets and mailed it to Su Yi, entrusting her with the investigation.
Later, Zheng He playfully tricked Xia Xiyang into visiting the Civil Affairs Bureau under the pretense of buying groceries for his mother. Xia Xiyang, confused, questioned why they were at the Marriage Registry. Zheng He, teasing her about her "fear of marriage," presented her with an ultimatum: either stop riding her motorbike or go in and register their marriage immediately.
He then revealed he had all his important documents—including his bank card, staff card, hospital meal card, medical insurance card, and house card—and handed them over to her, declaring she would now be in charge. Despite Xia Xiyang's initial protests about forced marriage and her crying, Zheng He sweetly assured her, expressing his desire to "fight for the rest of their lives." They left the bureau as a married couple, with Xia Xiyang realizing they had forgotten the groceries.
Meanwhile, Li Jiashang updated unconscious Su Yi that Su Xiangtai had successfully applied for a patent for his scar-removing cream and was soon to receive an award. Su Xiangtai had planned to go alone, but Luo Manni surprised him at the airport, having taken an economy class flight to avoid detection. Despite Su Xiangtai's explanation that family members were not allowed at the event, Luo Manni insisted on accompanying him as his "chauffeur."
She then attempted to negotiate a business deal with him, expressing more interest in his patent than him and playfully suggesting she would become his personal companion (including "room service, personal pendant, and a psychiatrist after breakup") if he didn't sign a contract, as her "young man" was too busy to cling to her.
She then unveiled an engagement ring she had found in his pocket, asking him if he knew the significance of wearing it on that finger, and confirmed it meant engagement. Boldly, she proposed a "flash marriage." Overjoyed, Su Xiangtai swept her into his arms. Li Jiashang continued his vigil by Su Yi's bedside for several days, sharing stories like his sister's unique flower deliveries with encouraging cards and Ding Hang's new job working for Chu Mo.
As Su Yi remained unresponsive, Li Jiashang grew anxious, admitting he was "a bit scared." Finally, Su Yi stirred and softly called his name, bringing immense relief and joy to Li Jiashang, who kissed her forehead and held her close. After Su Yi's recovery, the group enjoyed a trip to the beach, with a heavily pregnant Xia Xiyang receiving Zheng He's constant care. Li Jiashang, eager for Su Yi to accept his proposal, voiced his impatience to Zheng He.
During a barbecue, Xia Xiyang prompted Zheng He to share his thoughts on marriage, then eloquently stated that marriage is about accepting each other's flaws to become better people. Zheng He praised her profound insight, to which Xia Xiyang credited Su Yi for sharing that wisdom via text message when Zheng He and Xia Xiyang got their marriage certificate. Su Yi confirmed this was indeed her belief.
When Zheng He asked Su Yi why she hadn't married yet, she surprised everyone by simply saying, "Let's get married then." Li Jiashang was stunned as Su Yi produced a pair of rings. Luo Manni proudly interjected that she recommended the custom jewelry shop. Su Yi playfully urged Li Jiashang to put the ring on before she changed her mind, teasing that she simply wanted to "freeload" off him officially.
Li Jiashang, delighted, confirmed it was "free for life" as he placed the ring on her finger. Ding Hang proposed a celebratory toast, but the joyous moment was interrupted when Xia Xiyang suddenly experienced intense stomach pains, announcing she was going into labor. Everyone immediately rushed her to the hospital. Five years later, Su Yi had become a renowned art promoter. Li Jiashang, her devoted husband, constantly served her, often being mistaken for her employee.
They reflected on how roles had reversed, with people now recognizing him as "Teacher Su's husband," which he found humorous and fulfilling. Meanwhile, Li Xiatian playfully interrupted Chu Mo as he was writing the finale of "The Secret of Love," teasing him about his solitary nature and her using him to evade paparazzi. Their interaction highlighted their witty, bickering relationship. Later, at a convenience store, Su Yi and Li Jiashang were with their godson, little Zheng He.
Li Jiashang playfully chided little Zheng He for always clinging to Su Yi, to which the boy declared she was "his now." Su Yi intervened, stating she belonged to herself and admonishing little Zheng He for his rudeness, though he cheekily stuck out his tongue and called Li Jiashang "the most annoying godfather." Su Yi mused that the child inherited Zheng He's mischievous traits, while Li Jiashang countered that he got Xia Xiyang's stubbornness.
Li Jiashang then encouraged Su Yi to eat more, remarking, "If you don't eat till you are full, how will you have the strength to give birth?" Su Yi then shared a long-held secret: she remembered breaking a little boy's head when she was young, and it was Li Jiashang, who confirmed his scar. This revelation brought a touch of guilt to Su Yi.
As they discussed secrets, Su Yi solemnly told Li Jiashang she had one last secret, warning him to be mentally prepared for "drastic changes" in their life. She then took his hand and placed it on her belly, indicating she was pregnant, a secret she couldn't yet openly announce. Li Jiashang, overjoyed, affirmed it as "their secret."
