Well-Intended Love Episode 1 Recap
> Well-Intended Love Recap
Xia Lin, a z-list actress, is a lively and cheerful girl. Unexpectedly, she suddenly encountered a change and was told by the doctor that she had a terminal illness, which scared her into fainting on the spot. Going back half a day, Xia Lin was hailing a cab by the roadside but accidentally got into the car of CEO Ling Yizhou, and even mistook Ling Yizhou for a ride-sharing passenger.
Xia Lin didn't take Ling Yizhou's surprise to heart at all and immediately told the driver to drive to Lingyun Hotel. Ling Yizhou originally wanted to refuse, but hearing that Xia Lin's destination was the same as his, he simply didn't argue and told the driver to drive. When Xia Lin was almost at the hotel, she suddenly received a call from the driver and only then realized she had gotten into the wrong car, her expression extremely awkward.
Xia Lin chatted with Ling Yizhou; she felt that Ling Yizhou looked familiar, but Ling Yizhou thought she was hitting on him, yet he still spoke to ease the awkwardness. When Xia Lin got out of the car, she found that her contact lenses were left in the car. She had to endure the discomfort of myopia and fumbled around in Ling Yizhou's car, but she was seen by Chu Yan, who was nearby, and he misunderstood their relationship.
Chu Yan is Ling Yizhou's good friend and a famous actor in the entertainment industry with high popularity. This time returning to the country, Chu Yan had arranged for Ling Yizhou to pick him up, but unexpectedly Ling Yizhou accidentally brought Xia Lin along, delaying picking him up, which made Chu Yan very upset. Chu Yan thought Xia Lin was no different from the girls who persistently bothered Ling Yizhou and developed a prejudice against Xia Lin.
Ling Yizhou quickly explained that it was a misunderstanding, but it still didn't dispel Chu Yan's suspicion. Chu Yan represented the Ling Group in selecting candidates for this advertisement model, and Xia Lin happened to come for an interview, facing Chu Yan's difficult questions. Chu Yan deliberately asked Xia Lin to perform as "Sister Pomegranate" in front of everyone, but Xia Lin performed exceptionally well, which made Chu Yan lose face completely.
After Xia Lin left, she received a call from her agent and only then learned that her interview didn't pass. Xia Lin felt that she had performed well in the interview and was somewhat depressed about not passing. Xia Lin's career failed, and she brought a gift to her boyfriend for comfort, only to find her best friend was in her boyfriend's room. It turned out the two had already hooked up behind her back.
At that moment, Xia Lin faced a triple blow of friendship, love, and career, and felt like she couldn't bear it anymore. Xia Lin angrily prepared to take a taxi to leave her boyfriend's house, but was told by the driver that he was waiting for his girlfriend and wouldn't pick up anyone else, which made Xia Lin even angrier.
Xia Lin could no longer control her emotions, and she fainted on the ground in anger and was sent to the hospital. After the doctor examined Xia Lin, he revealed that she had early-stage leukemia, which made Xia Lin even more desperate. Xia Lin shut herself in her room and sat there for a whole day. Early the next morning, she mustered up her courage and decided to go to the hospital again.
Ling Yizhou visited his grandmother, but she was very interested in his marriage and mentioned the news that An Ran was about to return to the country, telling Ling Yizhou to make plans early. Seeing this, Ling Yizhou quickly told his grandmother that he only regarded An Ran as a younger sister and that he had other arrangements for his marriage. To ease his grandmother's worries, Ling Yizhou simply lied that he already had someone he liked, assuring his grandmother.
Xia Lin went to the doctor to consult about the treatment for leukemia. The doctor told Xia Lin that her illness could be cured with a bone marrow transplant surgery, and the hospital's bone marrow bank happened to have a suitable match. Xia Lin took advantage of the doctor's inattentiveness to secretly check the hospital's information and successfully found the donor information that matched her bone marrow.
The donor was none other than Ling Yizhou, whom she had coincidentally met before. Xia Lin asked her good friend for ideas, and the two planned to find a way to approach Ling Yizhou and persuade him to donate bone marrow to Xia Lin. Xia Lin's good friend is a gossip enthusiast. She quickly investigated all of Ling Yizhou's information and told Xia Lin.
Xia Lin and her friend went to the gym that Ling Yizhou frequently visited, but Ling Yizhou's assistant was guarding outside. In a moment of desperation, Xia Lin pushed her friend over, tricked Ling Yizhou's assistant into coming to check, and seized the opportunity to find Ling Yizhou herself. Ling Yizhou was swimming in the pool, and Xia Lin proactively found him, stammering as she explained her purpose. Xia Lin tried to get close to Ling Yizhou.
She told him that she had been diagnosed with leukemia and hoped that Ling Yizhou would donate bone marrow to her. Ling Yizhou didn't believe Xia Lin at all. He thought Xia Lin was making up lies to approach him, so he was completely unmoved. Ling Yizhou told Xia Lin that he was a businessman and didn't do losing deals, donating bone marrow would not benefit him at all, so he would not help.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Ling Yizhou, Xia Lin felt. . . waited for a while and saw that Xia Lin wasn't reacting in the water. Thinking she was drowning, he quickly jumped into the pool to save her. Ling Yizhou dragged Xia Lin out of the pool, but noticed from small details that Xia Lin was faking it. He unceremoniously pushed Xia Lin back into the water. Xia Lin refused to give up.
She just wanted to live now, so she spent the whole day going to the Ling Group to pester Ling Yizhou. Xia Lin finally managed to see Ling Yizhou but was kicked out by the security guards. Xia Lin didn't give up and ran to the Ling Group again, falsely claiming she was pregnant with Ling Yizhou's child. However, she found a group of women at the company entrance also falsely claiming to be pregnant, which made her extremely awkward.
Xia Lin waited outside the Ling Group all day, even injuring her foot, and finally waited for Ling Yizhou. Seeing Xia Lin injured, Ling Yizhou proactively expressed concern and also stated that he was willing to help Xia Lin, but in exchange, Xia Lin had to marry him.
