Well Dominated Love Episode 21 Recap
> Well Dominated Love Recap
Following days of psychological treatment, Yan Jingzhi's memories of Nie Xingchen were unexpectedly triggered by a boy playing with a mirror and singing a song about stars, bringing back every detail of their past together. Suddenly overwhelmed, he abandoned his computer and frantically searched for her in places they once shared. Her absence left him profoundly distraught, wondering where she could be. He then confronted Zhao Yuanfang at a bar, demanding to know Nie Xingchen’s whereabouts.
Zhao Yuanfang, annoyed, questioned Yan Jingzhi's sincerity, pointing out his recent alleged affair with Zhen Nian. Yan Jingzhi clarified that Zhen Nian was merely a friend whom he had asked to help him create a false impression of a new relationship, an attempt to push Nie Xingchen away due to his fears of recurrent amnesia.
Zhao Yuanfang scoffed, suggesting Yan Jingzhi needed a "love training class" and asserting that Nie Xingchen was not someone to be summoned or dismissed at will. When Yan Jingzhi admitted his foolishness and confirmed his memories had returned, Zhao Yuanfang sarcastically challenged him to drink two bottles of wine for Nie Xingchen’s location. Yan Jingzhi promptly began drinking.
Seeing his determination, Zhao Yuanfang reluctantly revealed that Nie Xingchen had returned to her hometown, but issued a stern warning that this was Yan Jingzhi’s "last chance," threatening severe consequences if he ever hurt her again. Immediately, Yan Jingzhi instructed Director Huang to book a flight to Shashi for him, emphasizing that it was a private matter requiring complete secrecy.
Meanwhile, Tong Xin recorded a detailed self-introduction for Han Ziyu, describing herself as a versatile and loyal "dream girl" whose companionship would be invaluable to him. Listening to her voice brought a smile to Han Ziyu’s face. Upon arriving in Shashi with a bouquet of flowers, Yan Jingzhi learned from a local woman that Nie Xingchen and her family were visiting relatives in their old hometown.
To obtain the address, Yan Jingzhi feigned a crisis, claiming his company was on the verge of bankruptcy and desperately needed Nie Xingchen to return to work. His ploy succeeded, and he received the address. Han Ziyu later called Yan Jingzhi, expressing joy at the news of his restored five-year memory and asking him to schedule a follow-up examination upon his return. Later, Han Ziyu visited Bojue Group, hoping to see Tong Xin.
To his dismay, Tong Xin's colleagues staged a scene, making it appear as though Tong Xin had started a new relationship with a "sweetie." When Han Ziyu managed to speak with Tong Xin privately, she maintained the charade, offering congratulations on his supposed new love and stating she could no longer be the president of his fan club, wishing him well with a "Dr. Bai." Han Ziyu left feeling heartbroken, believing their relationship was truly over.
On his way to Nie Xingchen’s old home, Yan Jingzhi’s taxi broke down on a secluded road. Declining the driver’s offer to wait for rescue, Yan Jingzhi opted to take a three-wheeled vehicle to his destination. He eventually arrived at Nie Xingchen’s rural home, much to her surprise. Han Ziyu's mother visited him, noting his low mood. He confessed that he and Tong Xin had broken up, vaguely explaining she was "no longer a fan" of his.
His mother, visibly distressed, chastised him for misinterpreting Tong Xin, praising her as a good girl and warning him not to let her go. At Nie Xingchen’s home, Yan Jingzhi found himself in Nie Xingchen’s father’s clothes, as his own were still damp from being washed. Nie Xingchen’s father, sensing the tension, made subtle jabs at Yan Jingzhi.
Yan Jingzhi, despite his fastidious nature, readily complied when Nie Xingchen’s father sarcastically suggested he wash the dishes, even without gloves, asserting that they didn’t "be particular about this" in the countryside. While Yan Jingzhi was washing dishes, Nie Xingchen’s father deliberately kept Nie Xingchen busy, first asking her to change his tea, then to massage his shoulders, preventing her from assisting Yan Jingzhi. In the process, Yan Jingzhi accidentally dropped and broke a newly purchased bowl.
Nie Xingchen rushed to his side, but her father quickly interjected, stating that money “isn’t everything” and “cannot make up for emotional damage,” a clear criticism aimed at Yan Jingzhi. He then dismissed Yan Jingzhi from the task, telling him to return to his room and leaving Nie Xingchen to clean up the shattered pieces. Yan Jingzhi seized an opportunity to slip into Nie Xingchen’s room.
Nie Xingchen, visibly upset, questioned his sudden appearance, revealing her worry and frustration over his past incommunicado behavior. Yan Jingzhi then confessed that he had fully regained his memory from five years ago. He passionately declared that Nie Xingchen was the only woman he had ever loved, loved now, and would ever love, pleading with her to return. Nie Xingchen, however, expressed deep apprehension about him losing his memory again and forgetting her.
Yan Jingzhi admitted he couldn’t guarantee against future amnesia but reassured her that she was his "lighthouse" and "Polaris," and as long as she was by his side, he would never be lost. Just as they leaned in for a kiss, Nie Xingchen’s father suddenly knocked and entered.
Yan Jingzhi quickly hid behind the curtain, overhearing her father express strong disapproval of their relationship, worried about the potential difficulties and emotional hardship Nie Xingchen might face with Yan Jingzhi's wealthy family, especially after Nie Xingchen revealed she had already met his mother. Her father, alarmed, then sternly warned Nie Xingchen against secretly marrying, threatening to disown her if she did. After her father left, Yan Jingzhi emerged, disheartened by his continued dislike.
Nie Xingchen reassured him that her feelings were what truly mattered. Yan Jingzhi declared his resolve to stay until her parents approved of him, affirming that he would fight to win her back. Later, Nie Xingchen's father privately asked her mother about the household registration book, indicating his concern about Nie Xingchen potentially eloping, but was reminded that it had been transferred to Jinghai.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yuanfang called Nie Xingchen, who playfully accused him of betraying her by giving Yan Jingzhi her location. Zhao Yuanfang, upon hearing that Yan Jingzhi had successfully found Nie Xingchen so quickly, was left to reflect on the formidable nature of angry women after Nie Xingchen playfully accused him of betrayal. Nie Xingchen then watched a series of video messages Yan Jingzhi had recorded, detailing his deep longing for her from the day she left.
In these heartfelt messages, he expressed how his love for her had become an ingrained instinct, occupying his thoughts throughout every moment of his day. Separately, at a bar, Zhao Yuanfang overheard patrons discussing newly exposed pre-cosmetic surgery photos of Zhen Nian, labeling her a "cosmetic freak." While others criticized her, Zhao Yuanfang silently anticipated that this scandal would finally force Zhen Nian to seek his assistance. The next morning, Yan Jingzhi greeted Nie Xingchen’s grandmother and parents.
He then delivered a formal self-introduction, detailing his age, height, weight, lack of bad habits, and his position as company president. He proudly stated his IQ of 151 and his membership in the Mensa Club. Nie Xingchen’s father, still keen to challenge him, asked if his high IQ enabled him to catch chickens. Despite his initial struggles and the father’s continued taunts, Yan Jingzhi successfully caught a chicken.
Concurrently, news of Zhen Nian’s pre-plastic surgery photos went viral, leading to public outrage. Her assistant informed her that her college classmate, Zhou Weiwei, had sold the photos to entertainment reporters, possibly as revenge after offending Yan Jingzhi, which resulted in Zhou Weiwei's boyfriend being demoted and their breakup. Despite her manager's advice to seek help from Yan Jingzhi or Zhao Yuanfang, Zhen Nian firmly declared her intention to face the overwhelming public backlash alone.
Later, Nie Xingchen’s grandmother accidentally fell down the stairs, causing immediate panic among the family. Yan Jingzhi, however, remained calm and immediately took charge. He instructed everyone not to move her, explaining the risks of aggravating a potential brain blood supply issue or bone dislocation. He confirmed her consciousness and checked for other symptoms, then quickly identified a likely cervical fracture.
He efficiently directed Nie Xingchen’s cousin to find a bed board, Nie Xingchen to get bath towels, her aunt to await the ambulance, and her uncle to carefully straighten the grandmother’s leg. He continuously reassured the grandmother, telling her not to be afraid and that help was on the way. Once the bed board arrived, they carefully moved her onto it just as the ambulance arrived.
At the hospital, the doctor confirmed a cervical fracture but praised the family’s quick thinking and emergency measures, which prevented further injury. Nie Xingchen’s father, deeply impressed, thanked Yan Jingzhi for his prompt and effective actions, which included arranging for subsequent treatment and recuperation. When asked how he knew first aid, Yan Jingzhi humbly stated he had taken relevant courses in school, earning the father's admiration for his versatility. Nie Xingchen also expressed her gratitude, to which Yan Jingzhi replied that her family was now his family, and he would protect them as he protected her.
