Your Sensibility My Destiny Episode 9 Recap
> Your Sensibility My Destiny Recap
As an assassin trailed Lin Chi, she swiftly intervened, easily subduing Ji Dingyue's men with her significantly increased internal prowess. However, when an assassin hurled a dart, Mo Qingchen quickly pushed Lin Chi aside, taking the dart himself. He had momentarily forgotten his own diminished martial arts abilities in his haste to protect her. Fortunately, his injury was not serious, and the assassin fled. Mo Qingchen remarked to Lin Chi that he feared losing her.
Lin Chi tended to Mo Qingchen's wound at the manor. She realized she had sustained minor injuries herself but felt no pain, confirming her lack of sensation. Mo Qingchen, recalling Qiu Wan's earlier mention of Lin Chi losing her sense of taste and temperature, understood that their senses had indeed swapped. He now had his senses, while Lin Chi had gained his formidable martial arts but lost her own sensory perception.
Mo Qingchen insisted that Lin Chi remain at the manor to accompany him while he recovered, stating he would not return her senses otherwise. Lin Chi agreed to stay, but only until he could help her regain her senses. He asked if she would stay even if he never returned her senses, but she evaded the question, saying she would wait for him in the guest room.
Meanwhile, Ling Shu reported to Mo Qingchen that the assassin left no traces, suggesting Ji Dingyue was behind the attack to probe the manor's secrets. Mo Qingchen instructed Ling Shu to heighten vigilance. Cold Wind reported to Ji Dingyue about Lin Chi's enhanced internal power and Mo Qingchen's weakened state. Ji Dingyue found the situation increasingly interesting and ordered Cold Wind to proceed with their original plan now that Lin Chi had returned.
Ji Dingyue then summoned Ling Yan, reminding her of her childhood acquaintance with Lin Chi. He saw Lin Chi as a critical vulnerability to exploit against Mo Qingchen and tasked Ling Yan with approaching Lin Chi to gain her trust, believing this could break the current deadlock. Experiencing life without taste or other sensations, Lin Chi finally understood the profound suffering Mo Qingchen had endured for so long.
She reflected on her impulsive departure and harsh words after the Empress's threats, realizing she had failed to grasp his pain. Similarly, Mo Qingchen, prompted by Ji Dingluan's musings on others' grievances, felt a renewed empathy for Lin Chi. He found her doing needlework and hurting her hand, but she felt nothing, stirring his concern. He decided to switch their senses back, hoping to restore things to their original state.
Lin Chi believed they could achieve this by finding an unusual food or by re-enacting the moment their senses first swapped. They searched the kitchen in vain and then returned to her room to recreate the scene. Concurrently, Qiu Wan inquired about Lin Chi with Ji Dingluan, who recounted Mo Qingchen's self-sacrificing act to save Lin Chi. Qiu Wan expressed admiration, leading Ji Dingluan to inwardly wish he could do the same for her.
Just then, Gu Yuan, a known swindler, arrived to request money for a supposed school. Qiu Wan recognized him, confronted him using their secret code, and exposed his lies, causing him to flee. Ji Dingluan, perplexed, was informed by Qiu Wan that Gu Yuan was a fraud who viewed him as a naive target. Ji Dingluan retorted by reminding her that she, too, was once a swindler.
Deeply hurt by his words, especially after her dedicated efforts to manage his household finances, Qiu Wan declared she would leave. Despite Ji Dingluan's apologies and pleas for her to stay, citing the manor's dependence on her, Qiu Wan remained resolute. Qiu Wan then took Zhuang Chen and left Jing Wang Mansion, only for Ji Dingluan to chase them down in the street, begging them to return.
He admitted that Gu Yuan had indeed cheated him and that he needed her back to prevent further deception. Ji Dingluan invoked Lin Chi, Zhuang Chen, and even the gods to persuade her, and eventually, she agreed to stay, warning him never to speak to her like that again. In her room, Lin Chi and Mo Qingchen recreated the scene of their original swap. Lin Chi discovered that Mo Qingchen had carefully reassembled the torn contract.
She tried to tear it again, but he stopped her, and in their struggle, they tumbled onto the bed. Though their senses did not switch back, they reconciled, affirming their commitment to each other. Mo Qingchen admitted he looked for her because he missed her, not just out of concern for her health.
He recounted how he defied his mother to protect Lin Chi, vowing to leave Nan Lu with her to start a new life if the Empress continued to oppose their union. Moved by his words, Lin Chi apologized for her impulsiveness and resolved to stay. Later, Du Ruo, the chief constable of the Supreme Court, visited Lin Chi to deliver an update on her sister's whereabouts.
He revealed that the lead from the south had gone cold, but suggested that the Supreme Court archives might hold some clues, asking her to await his further investigation. Mo Qingchen, overhearing, expressed his jealousy over Du Ruo's frequent visits and asked Lin Chi to inform him first next time. Observing Lin Chi's difficulty with her newfound senselessness, Mo Qingchen began training her to adapt, teaching her to rely on observation and keen mental deduction, much as he once did.
He explained he was staying because he was worried she couldn't take care of herself alone. He instructed her to memorize the properties and habits of various plants and creatures from the Herb Almanac, warning her that he would test her. Lin Chi found the task arduous and proposed drafting a new contract with stipulations, including preventing Mo Qingchen from forcing her to copy books or tricking her. He agreed.
That night, Lin Chi, unable to sleep, found Mo Qingchen and asked for the contract, intending to add another clause. Mo Qingchen, anticipating her desire to share a room, playfully offered for her to sleep with him, explaining he was now unable to sleep alone. Lin Chi, initially feigning reluctance, accepted, acknowledging that the contract now required him to constantly help her perceive the world, even during sleep.
Mo Qingchen carried her to his bed, where they lay holding hands, a translucent veil separating them. Lin Chi then shared a legend about lovers meeting by a snowy lake, their reflections forever frozen together, and expressed her hope that the legend would prove true for them. Mo Qingchen, feigning sleep, silently listened.
