Your Sensibility My Destiny Episode 11 Recap
> Your Sensibility My Destiny Recap
Lin Chi brought Ling Yan to Prince Jing's Residence to see Zhuang Chen. Ling Yan immediately recognized Zhuang Chen, recalling a childhood memory of catching him stealing wine and his unfulfilled promise of candy. Lin Chi, surprised by this anecdote, playfully called her master embarrassing. Zhuang Chen was touched, seeing their reunion as a blessing from their parents' spirits.
However, Zhuang Chen found Ling Yan's immediate recognition of him strange, given her young age at the time and the long separation. He reported to Mo Qingchen that while he found no flaws in Ling Yan and was now more certain she was Lin Chi's biological sister, her immediate recognition of him remained suspicious. During this discussion, he recalled a moody, aristocratic young man recuperating at the Lin residence ten years ago.
Following this, Lin Chi introduced Ling Yan to her senior, Qiu Wan, and Mo Qingchen. As Mo Qingchen and Qiu Wan excused themselves, Qiu Wan noted Ling Yan's potential for hidden abilities, and Mo Qingchen expressed concern about the person behind her.
Qiu Wan later reflected on the peculiarity of Ling Yan recognizing Zhuang Chen so easily after so long when Lin Chi couldn't even recognize her own sister, speculating that Lin Chi might have already noticed but chose to ignore it due to her profound need for family affection. Lin Chi confronted Mo Qingchen, asking if he had invited their Master and Senior to test Ling Yan.
Mo Qingchen admitted he had, explaining that Ling Yan's actions since arriving had been deliberately testing their perception. Lin Chi, however, firmly believed Ling Yan would never harbor ill will towards her. Mo Qingchen then asked Lin Chi to trust him just this once, promising to test Ling Yan without harming her and to accept the outcome without further question.
To execute the test, Mo Qingchen instructed Ling Shu and Ling Hua to conspicuously spread a rumor within the manor that Ling Yan had been seen entering and exiting Prince Rui's Residence, and that a confrontation was scheduled for that night. Overhearing this, a distressed Ling Yan entered the atrium, dagger in hand, expecting to face an accuser, but found only Lin Chi.
Lin Chi revealed she had suspected Ling Yan's complicated background from the start, as her years of wandering with Master had taught her to recognize such ploys. However, she affirmed that Ling Yan was indeed her sister and that she believed Ling Yan, even if hiding something, would never harm her, acknowledging her own profound need for this family bond. Ling Yan, seeing Lin Chi's unwavering trust, questioned if Lin Chi knew who murdered their family.
Lin Chi mentioned her Master's story of an accident, but Ling Yan dramatically declared that Mo Qingchen was their parents' killer from ten years ago. Lin Chi was shocked and disbelieving, asking if Prince Rui had put Ling Yan up to this. Ling Yan admitted Prince Rui sent her, but not to frame Mo Qingchen.
Lin Chi challenged Ling Yan's memory, given her young age and the traumatic circumstances, but Ling Yan vividly recounted witnessing her mother's death and her mother's desperate instructions for her to hide. Ling Yan conveyed her decade of pain and single-minded pursuit of revenge, urging Lin Chi to join her in killing Mo Qingchen.
When Lin Chi asked if Ling Yan had seen Mo Qingchen actually commit the act, Ling Yan conceded she hadn't, but described Mo Qingchen's volatile temperament during his recuperation at their home and his horrifying image, covered in blood and holding a knife, standing by their mother's body. She declared she had told Lin Chi the truth, leaving the choice to believe her or Mo Qingchen, or even to expose Ling Yan's own compromised position.
She told Lin Chi she would wait in her room for Lin Chi to make up her mind. Lin Chi was tormented, praying to her parents and questioning who to believe. Mo Qingchen found her looking troubled. Lin Chi expressed regret for misunderstanding Ling Yan, who had not come to her room. She then asked Mo Qingchen why he thought Ling Yan would sow discord between them.
Mo Qingchen reaffirmed his honesty, stating that Lin Chi already knew his biggest secret—his lack of sensation—and he had nothing left to hide. He invited her to ask anything she wished. Lin Chi, however, found herself unable to ask, fearing that if Mo Qingchen was innocent, asking would be an insult and a betrayal of trust, but if he was guilty, she wouldn't know how to face him.
Internally, Mo Qingchen also pondered what Ling Yan could have told Lin Chi to cause such deep distress, making Lin Chi hesitant to confide in him. He decided not to press her and instructed Ling Hua to stay with Lin Chi, ensuring she didn't harm herself. In her room, Ling Yan tearfully expressed her frustration to her parents' spirits, lamenting Lin Chi's disbelief and her reluctance to avenge them, despite Ling Yan's decade of pain.
The next morning, Mo Qingchen confronted Ling Yan. He stated that the staged rumor was merely to show Lin Chi that he knew Ling Yan's true allegiance and purpose. He declared he wouldn't interfere with her objectives, but sternly warned that if Lin Chi suffered any harm, he would not spare Ling Yan. Ling Hua reported that Lin Chi had spent the night smashing everything in the courtyard to vent her emotions.
Mo Qingchen, seeing Lin Chi's injured hands, found it heartbreaking and recalled his own past of self-inflicted wounds, reflecting that hurting oneself is better than hurting others. Lin Chi, tormented by Ling Yan's words, wondered why Mo Qingchen wasn't angry or pressing her for answers, and what the real truth was. She also recalled Ling Yan's claim of seeing Mo Qingchen with a bloody knife.
Lin Chi then visited Zhuang Chen at Prince Jing's Residence, demanding to know why he lied about her parents' deaths being an accident. Zhuang Chen, seeing he could no longer hide the truth, confessed. He explained that Lin Chi's parents were highly respected doctors who treated many nobles. On the day of the tragedy, Lin Chi had narrowly escaped because she insisted on going out to play with him.
He had lied to her about the "accident" and Ling Yan's adoption by a wealthy family, wanting to shield her from a life of hatred. Lin Chi then asked if he had seen Mo Qingchen at their home during that time. Zhuang Chen remembered an ill-tempered, aristocratic young man being treated there but couldn't confirm his identity as Lin Chi's parents had kept him hidden. Lin Chi also vaguely recalled this, admitting she had never seen the man either.
Zhuang Chen cautioned Lin Chi, reminding her that Mo Qingchen was the man she loved and urging her not to act impulsively, as it could lead to self-harm. Back at Wu Mo Manor, Lin Chi offered Ling Yan a childhood snack. Ling Yan, still angry, accused Lin Chi of choosing Mo Qingchen over their parents' revenge, wanting to enjoy a life of luxury.
Lin Chi countered, asking if Ling Yan was truly certain of Mo Qingchen's guilt or merely venting her grief. She questioned if Ling Yan would so easily condemn her loved one based on mere words. Lin Chi reiterated her certainty of Mo Qingchen's sincere feelings for her, regardless of his potential role as an enemy. She urged Ling Yan to seek tangible evidence.
Lin Chi then warned Ling Yan to be cautious of Ji Dingyue, highlighting his awareness of Mo Qingchen's capabilities. She questioned why Prince Rui, if truly concerned for Ling Yan, wouldn't avenge her himself, instead sending her into danger and allowing her to wallow in hatred.
Ling Yan dismissively told Lin Chi she didn't understand Prince Rui, but Lin Chi insisted that just as her Master protected her from the truth, if Mo Qingchen were truly the murderer, then Prince Rui was also a dangerous individual. Mo Qingchen concluded that Prince Rui was using Ling Yan to drive a wedge between him and Lin Chi.
Recalling Zhuang Chen's mention of the Lin family's tragedy ten years ago in autumn, he sent Ling Shu to find a specific location for him to investigate. Meanwhile, Ling Yan met with Ji Dingyue, confessing her failure to create discord and her desire to directly seek revenge. Ji Dingyue embraced her, promising to take on their shared revenge and urging her patience due to a lack of solid proof.
Ling Yan then remembered a crucial piece of evidence: the perpetrator had a distinctive knife scar running from the back of his neck down his spine. She believed this scar would definitively identify Mo Qingchen as the killer. Ling Yan returned and told Lin Chi about the scar she saw on the killer's back, claiming it would be on Mo Qingchen.
Lin Chi, however, stated that while Mo Qingchen had many scars, she had never seen the specific one Ling Yan described. Ling Yan then taunted Lin Chi about not seeing such a scar despite sleeping together every night, challenging her to check Mo Qingchen's body that night, assuring her he wouldn't refuse.
