Your Sensibility My Destiny Episode 10 Recap
> Your Sensibility My Destiny Recap
Mo Qingchen woke Lin Chi early and began teaching her martial arts. Lin Chi lamented that if she had possessed such kung fu skills earlier in her wandering life, she would not have suffered so much bullying and might have found her younger sister sooner. Mo Qingchen assured her that he would help her find her sister. Lin Chi then reminded Mo Qingchen that Du Ruo believed clues about her sister could be found at the Supreme Court.
Mo Qingchen admitted his reluctance to engage with his imperial family, viewing them first as political figures and only secondly as relatives. However, Lin Chi urged him to give himself a chance, suggesting that if he tried to interact with them from a family perspective, he might find unexpected benefits. Soon after, Mo Qingchen went to request permission from the Emperor to examine archives at the Supreme Court, seeking information to help a friend find her family.
The Emperor, surprised by Prince Ding Lan's (Mo Qingchen) rare initiative in caring for a friend, granted his request. Mo Qingchen, now possessing Lin Chi's senses, noticed the bitter smell of the Emperor's medicine and advised him to take it with honey and pay more attention to his health, which greatly pleased the Emperor. That night, Lin Chi, dressed in dark clothing, stealthily entered the Supreme Court to search for the files.
Unbeknownst to her, Mo Qingchen was also present, observing from the shadows. Moments later, Du Ruo arrived, knowing Lin Chi would attempt this and fearing for her safety. He quickly escorted her out, reminding her of the dangers posed by the Supreme Court's experts. Meanwhile, Mo Qingchen continued his search and discovered a suspicious case from the Year of Geng-Xu.
He then sought out the Empress, inquiring if she remembered a miracle doctor from Qingye County who used to treat him, and whose family later met with a sudden calamity. The Empress's demeanor shifted, and she dismissed it as ancient history she couldn't recall. Mo Qingchen then pressed further, asking if he had caused trouble as a child due to his inability to control his internal energy.
The Empress vehemently denied it, saying he never did anything rash, though she acknowledged he caused minor troubles. At Prince Rui's Residence, Ji Dingyue learned that both Lin Chi and Mo Qingchen had visited the Supreme Court. He summoned Ling Yan, informing her that her long-lost sister, Lin Anle, now known as Lin Chi, had been found. Ling Yan was deeply distressed, unable to fathom why her sister would be with the man who murdered their entire family.
Ji Dingyue instructed Ling Yan not to rush into a reunion. Instead, she was to subtly gain Lin Chi's trust without raising suspicion. He emphasized that her true identity as Lin Chi's sister was irrefutable, so even if Mo Qingchen and Du Ruo were suspicious, it wouldn't matter. The ultimate goal was to leverage Lin Chi to exact revenge for their family.
Du Ruo arrived at Wu Mo Manor to inform Lin Chi that her sister had been located and was currently staying on the outskirts of Ming Capital. Overjoyed, Lin Chi immediately expressed her desire to meet her, asking Mo Qingchen to accompany her during this significant moment, which he agreed to.
As they arrived at the outskirts, Du Ruo cautioned Lin Chi that Ling Yan's foster parents had passed away a few years ago, which might have made her somewhat reclusive. He advised Lin Chi to manage her emotions. Lin Chi and Ling Yan met, but as per Ji Dingyue's instructions, Ling Yan initially denied being Lin Chi's sister, fearing that immediate recognition would arouse suspicion.
Lin Chi, however, recounted their shared childhood memories, including a distinctive crescent-shaped scar on Ling Yan's left arm, caused by a candle burn when Lin Chi was small. Ling Yan was deeply moved by this detailed memory but, bound by her promise to Ji Dingyue not to acknowledge Lin Chi too soon, she turned away, her eyes brimming with tears.
She later reflected on her conflicted emotions, acknowledging that Ji Dingyue had saved her life and remained her most trusted person, even after reuniting with her sister. Ling Yan was filled with regret, realizing she couldn't openly embrace the sister she had longed for, especially since Lin Chi was with their family's perceived enemy. She committed herself to following Ji Dingyue's plan to achieve her revenge.
Meanwhile, Mo Qingchen and Du Ruo expressed their doubts about Ling Yan's sincerity, noting that a wind chime she brought had new ink on it, suggesting it was deliberately prepared. They tried to persuade Lin Chi to leave, but Lin Chi, firmly believing Ling Yan to be her true sister, insisted on going inside to talk with her further.
Seeing her determination, Mo Qingchen agreed, deciding it would be safer to keep Ling Yan under his watchful eye within the manor. Inside, Lin Chi continued recounting cherished childhood memories, which finally moved Ling Yan to reveal the crescent-shaped scar on her left arm, confirming her identity. Overcome with emotion, the sisters embraced tightly, their reunion sealed. Lin Chi brought Ling Yan back to Wu Mo Manor.
That evening, Lin Chi decided to move her belongings and sleep in Ling Yan's room. Mo Qingchen immediately expressed his discomfort, stating this violated the terms of their agreement. Lin Chi explained that after over a decade apart, she felt it was important to stay with her sister for a while, especially since she worried Ling Yan wouldn't sleep well on her first night in a new place.
Though reluctant, Mo Qingchen conceded, but sternly reminded Lin Chi not to reveal the secret of their swapped bodies, to which she confidently assured him she wouldn't make such a mistake. In Ling Yan's room, Lin Chi tried to comfort her sister. When Lin Chi spoke of their parents dying in a great fire, Ling Yan was surprised to realize Lin Chi had no memory of the circumstances, believing it to be an accident.
Ling Yan then subtly began to question Lin Chi about Mo Qingchen and their relationship, asking if it would be inconvenient for her to stay and wondering why a prince would keep Lin Chi around. Lin Chi, however, remained cautious and did not reveal any sensitive information, merely stating that Mo Qingchen wouldn't kick her out because he "might like her," and promised to explain more about the manor later.
Ling Yan silently vowed to take revenge and repay Ji Dingyue's kindness. The next day, Ling Yan subtly began to test Mo Qingchen. She presented him with a painting, claiming it was an heirloom from her foster parents, and asked if it was authentic. Mo Qingchen immediately identified it as a genuine, high-quality piece, noting the rare fragrance in the ink and the delicate texture of the paper, concluding that Ling Yan's family must have been quite affluent.
This confirmed to Ling Yan that Mo Qingchen was not truly imperceptible. Lin Chi, wary of any potential misunderstandings, quickly tried to put the painting away. Despite Ling Yan's apparent identity confirmation, Mo Qingchen maintained his suspicion about her true intentions. That night, Ling Yan secretly left Wu Mo Manor to report her findings to Ji Dingyue. She confirmed that Mo Qingchen possessed his senses and that Lin Chi remained oblivious to Mo Qingchen being their family's enemy.
Ji Dingyue instructed Ling Yan to return to the manor and skillfully sow discord between Lin Chi and Mo Qingchen, eager to see what schemes Mo Qingchen would employ once separated from Lin Chi. Ling Yan implicitly expressed her devotion to Ji Dingyue, who in turn promised to formally marry her and bring her into his residence once all their plans came to fruition. Ling Yan believed his words.
The next morning, Ling Yan appeared as Lin Chi and Mo Qingchen were in the manor. Lin Chi explained she had been looking for her since waking to find her gone. Mo Qingchen, observing Ling Yan's newly given embroidered shoes, noticed they were soiled with mud, despite no recent rain. He inquired about her whereabouts, deducing she had left the manor and been gone all night.
Ling Yan quickly explained that she went to retrieve a wind chime, asserting that her walking speed was faster than average and that chariots were always available on the road. Lin Chi, however, became upset with Mo Qingchen, believing he was unfairly doubting her sister. Later, Du Ruo informed Mo Qingchen that Ling Yan's background story was impeccably flawless, almost suspiciously so.
Mo Qingchen speculated that while Ling Yan might indeed be Lin Chi's genuine sister, her perfection suggested a deeper, ulterior motive for reuniting with Lin Chi. To uncover the truth, Mo Qingchen dispatched Du Ruo to Prince Jing's Manor, asking him to seek out Zhuang Chen, their master, for any insights into Ling Yan's true identity and intentions.
