Your Sensibility My Destiny Episode 12 Recap
> Your Sensibility My Destiny Recap
Lin Chi, plagued by sleeplessness and her inability to feel, sought comfort with Mo Qingchen in the middle of the night. Believing him to be asleep, she cautiously lifted his clothing and discovered a prominent knife scar on his back, extending from his neck down to his waist, along his spine.
This sight filled Lin Chi with profound sorrow and disbelief, realizing that the scar aligned with Ling Yan's accusation and that Mo Qingchen might indeed be responsible for the decade-old tragedy that befell her family. Mo Qingchen, feigning sleep, was aware of Lin Chi's true intentions in seeking him out. He silently wished she would confront him directly with her pain and hatred, but she remained silent.
Nevertheless, he resolved to provide her with a full explanation when the time was right. Meanwhile, at the Supreme Court, Du Ruo apprehended an individual accused of murder. It was revealed that this man was a former coroner who had resigned abruptly ten years prior after encountering a particularly difficult family massacre case. Du Ruo found this highly suspicious, recognizing the connection to the Lin family case in Qingye County.
He considered informing Lin Chi but then hesitated, sensing that the sudden appearance of clues after ten years of silence was too coincidental and suggested manipulation. He decided to investigate further before speaking with her. Not long after, Ling Yan confronted Lin Chi again.
Ling Yan pressed her sister to take action regarding Mo Qingchen's guilt, urging her to investigate and find proof, and declared she would rather die with Mo Qingchen if Lin Chi remained indecisive or failed to uncover the truth. Unbeknownst to them, Mo Qingchen overheard their conversation from a distance. Driven by Ling Yan's conviction and her own gnawing doubt, Lin Chi rushed to the Supreme Court to find Du Ruo.
She tearfully pleaded with him to reopen the old files, revealing Ling Yan's claim that she saw Mo Qingchen at the scene of the Lin family massacre. Du Ruo, however, found the timing of these new developments incredibly suspicious. He warned Lin Chi against blindly trusting one-sided accounts and acting impulsively, suggesting that unseen forces were manipulating events to push them into a dead end. Lin Chi, frustrated by his caution, insisted on investigating herself.
Seeing her unwavering determination, Du Ruo reluctantly agreed to take her to the former coroner held in the prison. Once Lin Chi had left, Mo Qingchen confronted Ling Yan. He accused her of being an agent of Ji Dingyue (Prince Rui) and of sowing discord between him and Lin Chi. Mo Qingchen acknowledged the possibility of having been at the Lin family's residence ten years prior, but insisted that the situation was not as she perceived.
He stated his intention to explain everything to Lin Chi himself. However, he declared he would not allow Ling Yan to continue disturbing Lin Chi's peace or for Ji Dingyue to manipulate the situation further. Ling Yan defiantly threatened to reveal everything to Lin Chi. Undeterred, Mo Qingchen told her that he would only explain to Lin Chi and did not care about Ling Yan's opinion.
He then had her restrained, assuring her he would not harm her but would prevent her from harming Lin Chi. In the prison, Lin Chi intensely questioned the former coroner about the Lin family massacre. Initially evasive, the coroner eventually confessed that the case involved royalty, leading to a swift cover-up where bandits were framed as scapegoats. He pointed out inconsistencies, such as the unusual fatal wounds and the absence of theft or sexual assault, which contradicted the bandit narrative.
He revealed that the Empress herself had commanded him to close the case. Lin Chi was devastated by this confirmation, believing it solidified Mo Qingchen's guilt. Despite Du Ruo's continued warnings about remaining doubts and the need for thorough investigation, Lin Chi was convinced and refused to listen. Du Ruo, concerned, urged her to keep this information secret for now.
Du Ruo later sought counsel from Zhuang Chen, who recalled Mo Qingchen's peculiar reaction years ago when he mentioned the Lin family incident, confirming Mo Qingchen was indeed the young man treated by Physician Lin. Ji Dingluan, present during the discussion, fiercely defended his brother, vowing to make him atone if proven guilty but staking his life on Mo Qingchen's innocence.
Zhuang Chen, acknowledging the mounting circumstantial evidence against Mo Qingchen, questioned if Mo Qingchen was the type to twist facts for self-preservation and suggested Lin Chi should ask Mo Qingchen directly. He pondered the nature of the illness that would send the Emperor's legitimate son to Physician Lin. Zhuang Chen then abruptly announced his departure for an urgent matter, hinting at a new lead. Ji Dingluan asked Du Ruo to investigate who was orchestrating the framing of his brother.
Back at the residence, Mo Qingchen, having made preparations, asked Lin Chi to accompany him to a location where he could explain everything. However, Lin Chi refused to go without Ling Yan. Finding Ling Yan bound in her room, Lin Chi freed her, prompting Ling Yan to emotionally accuse Lin Chi of not caring about their parents' revenge and choosing a life of luxury. Mo Qingchen sternly rebuked Ling Yan for her words, defending Lin Chi.
Lin Chi then confronted Mo Qingchen, demanding to know why he had restrained Ling Yan and if he intended to kill her. Lin Chi then asked Mo Qingchen three direct questions: if he was treated by Physician Lin in Qingye County ten years ago, if the scar on his back was from that time, and if he had deliberately concealed the fact that she was the daughter of the Lin family. Mo Qingchen admitted to all three.
When Lin Chi asked if he killed her parents, he replied that he didn't remember, attributing his memory loss to medication that had left him delirious. He reiterated that the official conclusion was that bandits were responsible. Lin Chi countered, arguing that if it wasn't him, the Empress would not have gone to such lengths to cover it up, and that his past inability to control his powers, even when conscious, made him suspect.
She asserted that her father was murdered because he had treated Mo Qingchen's forbidden illness. Mo Qingchen, in despair, challenged Lin Chi to kill him if she truly believed him guilty, impaling himself on her sword. Lin Chi, however, couldn't bring herself to deliver a fatal blow and dropped her weapon. Ling Yan, witnessing this, expressed profound disappointment in her sister, stating that only she (Ling Yan) believed she could kill Mo Qingchen, yet Lin Chi, given the opportunity, couldn't.
Later, Mo Qingchen was tormented by fragmented memories and the chilling recollection of his mother, the Empress, ordering servants to keep silent about the Lin family incident and to not leave the royal bedchamber, threatening them with dismemberment. He agonized over what his mother had done and what role he might have played, desperately wondering if he was indeed the murderer.
He then confronted the Empress in the palace, demanding to know what had truly transpired ten years ago and why she had intervened to settle the Lin family massacre, given that Physician Lin had been kind to him and Lin Chi was the woman he loved. The Empress explained that she had sent him to Physician Lin with the hope of curing his illness, but misfortune had struck the family.
She revealed that the official investigating the case was an ally of Ji Dingyue, and she feared that if she didn't intervene, Mo Qingchen's secret illness would be exposed, leading to disaster. She confessed she didn't know who committed the murders, but she had found Mo Qingchen at the scene, delirious, covered in blood, and with a deep wound on his back. She urged him to forget the past, as he didn't remember it then, he should forget it now.
Mo Qingchen, however, refused, stating he couldn't forget, especially when Lin Chi would never forget. Filled with guilt, Mo Qingchen retreated, consuming alcohol heavily and isolating himself. Ji Dingluan tried to console him, urging him to recover for Lin Chi's sake, as he was the only one who could truly understand and alleviate her pain. Mo Qingchen, still in despair, instructed Ji Dingluan to tell Lin Chi that she could come and take his life at any time.
Later, Ling Hua, bringing Mo Qingchen a brazier, observed his deep emotional pain. Despite her warning that the newly refueled brazier was extremely hot, Mo Qingchen, lost in thought about Lin Chi, picked it up, burning his hands. When Ling Hua expressed alarm that he couldn't feel the heat, he replied that his emotional pain was so profound that he was oblivious to physical sensation. His only thoughts were of Lin Chi.
