Well Dominated Love Episode 19 Recap
> Well Dominated Love Recap
At dinner, Han Ziyu noticed Tong Xin seemed distracted, pointing out she hadn't touched her favorite shrimp. He initially gave a clinical warning about the harmful substances her lipstick could absorb, but when she looked disappointed, he quickly changed his tune, telling her it was lovely and peeling a shrimp for her. Tong Xin playfully said she no longer wanted to be a fan, then clarified she wanted more "fan bonus" shrimp.
After excusing herself, Tong Xin returned with a homemade cake, intending to reveal it was her birthday, but the moment was shattered by a call from Xiaoqiao, who had been injured by an e-bike. Explaining he was not only a doctor but also Xiaoqiao's friend, Han Ziyu prepared to leave, and Tong Xin decided to accompany him.
At the scene of the accident, Xiaoqiao apologized for interrupting, to which a frustrated Tong Xin sarcastically replied that she was used to Xiaoqiao always having problems. When Han Ziyu offered to carry the injured Xiaoqiao, Tong Xin intervened, warning against causing a second injury. Han Ziyu then instructed Tong Xin to drive Xiaoqiao to the hospital, saying he would go home himself.
Left behind, Tong Xin sat alone by a bridge, her eyes filling with tears as she opened her birthday cake. Knowing Yan Jingzhi was listening, Nie Xingchen deliberately mentioned on a video call that she was going on a blind date with a senior engineer. The news agitated Yan Jingzhi so much that he couldn't sleep. At 2:30 a. m. , he woke Zhao Yuanfang, delegating all his work so he could fly back to Jinghai and disrupt the date.
He crashed the meeting and systematically dismantled the man, Zekai, pointing out why he was unsuitable by questioning if he could handle her demanding job and close relationship with her boss. In the car, Nie Xingchen playfully accused him of being jealous, a charge he denied. They drove to the restaurant where he had proposed five years earlier.
Nie Xingchen reminded him of the proposal and told him a story about Venus and a hunter to illustrate her own regret and resolve. She declared that she had made up her mind to stay by his side, whether he remembered her or not. Though Yan Jingzhi worried about wasting her time if he forgot her again, Nie Xingchen confessed her deepest regret was leaving him. She proposed they return to the beginning and face the future together.
Deeply moved, they embraced. Back at the office, Nie Xingchen learned Tong Xin had taken sick leave and sent a concerned message. Later, she brought a proposal to Yan Jingzhi's office, where they engaged in playful banter, with Nie Xingchen calling him her "boyfriend." When he feigned chest pain and asked her to rub it, she reminded him they were at work.
He teased that if everyone knew they were a couple, her position would be more secure even if he forgot her again. Calling his idea low-tech, he demonstrated a more "practical" one by pulling her into a deep kiss. Meanwhile, Zhen Nian booked an entire Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant for Zhao Yuanfang. He reminisced about only being able to afford vegetables there during his startup days, and Zhen Nian insisted he eat his fill.
They chatted happily, with Zhen Nian mentioning the strict diet she follows as an artist. To help him remember, Nie Xingchen began filming their daily life, joking that the videos would be "heirlooms." While they were watching a movie, Yan Jingzhi felt a sudden headache, and Nie Xingchen cautiously suggested they stop. He asked her to stay, but she left, saying she needed to video call her mother.
After her departure, Yan Jingzhi decided to start a journal of his own to preserve their memories. Later, as Zhen Nian and Zhao Yuanfang were leaving the restaurant, fans spotted her. Zhao Yuanfang quickly grabbed her hand and they ran to escape. Zhen Nian hurt her foot while running in high heels, and Zhao Yuanfang, without a second thought, gave her his own shoes to wear, a gesture that deeply touched her.
That night, Yan Jingzhi was startled awake by his recurring nightmare of a woman's bloody wrist and a blood-soaked floor. The next day, he and Nie Xingchen picked up his mother, Ms. Ye, from the airport. Ms. Ye was delighted to see Nie Xingchen and later privately thanked her, crediting her for helping Yan Jingzhi become a person capable of love, unlike his work-obsessed father. Nie Xingchen asked if anything traumatic had happened in Yan Jingzhi's childhood.
Ms. Ye recalled her unhappy marriage and how, in a desperate attempt to get her husband's attention during an argument when Yan Jingzhi was eight, she impulsively slit her wrist. Young Yan Jingzhi witnessed the event. Shortly after, she divorced his father, and Yan Jingzhi, who went to live with his father, seemed to forget the incident entirely. Nie Xingchen immediately suspected this trauma was the root of his amnesia.
Yan Jingzhi began psychological counseling, describing his recurring dream fragments to the therapist. The psychologist confirmed that his amnesia was a self-protection mechanism triggered by the childhood trauma of witnessing his mother's suicide attempt. The event caused him to subconsciously fear love and forget his romantic relationships to avoid similar pain. Yan Jingzhi agreed to cooperate fully with the treatment, committing to three sessions a week.
Afterward, Ms. Ye tearfully apologized to her son, regretting that her pursuit of freedom had come at the cost of his suffering. Yan Jingzhi forgave her, assuring her he no longer blamed her and fondly recalling how her visits made him happy as a child. He urged her to continue living her life for herself. Nie Xingchen captured their emotional reconciliation with a photograph.
Fearing Yan Jingzhi would overwork himself, Nie Xingchen took on more of his responsibilities so he could focus on his therapy. During a lighthearted moment in the office, he teased her that he would approve her future "marriage leave," which led to another passionate kiss. Later, Nie Xingchen drove Ms. Ye to the airport. Ms. Ye expressed her earnest hope that Nie Xingchen would soon be her daughter-in-law before leaving for her Harley Rally. As Nie Xingchen was driving back, she suddenly felt disoriented, her hands slipping on the steering wheel as she struggled to control the car.
