Looks like a few of you are actually going to brave watching this one raw so I will follow through with the short episode summaries. To make this whole process as painless as possible for myself, these summaries will be in bullet forms.

Episode 6
Mission 3
Host Name: Jiang Hui Yuan
Setting: Modern Day
Host’s tragic ending: A newbie aspiring actress, Hui Yuan was tricked by a man who wanted her to shoot porn videos. Rescued at the last moment by a popular idol and actor, Ji Yun Rui, the struggling Hui Yuan quickly latches onto her savior. Taking pity on a poor struggling girl, Yun Rui doesn’t mind helping Hui Yuan…until his true love shows up and Hui Yuan is promptly kicked to the curb.
Mission: Become a successful actress through her own hard work.
Hero of the book: It was supposed to be Ji Yun Rui…but a certain someone showed up unexpectedly.

• Instantly becoming the champion of justice when Lily told him how she was tricked by a porn director, Yun Rui drags Lily to his manager and pleas with his manager to sign Lily on.

• Exasperated to see Lily still “wearing” Yun Rui’s poster, the manger lady tells one of her staff to take Lily to the changing room to get a new outfit. While walking thru a hallway to the changing room Lily passes by a very important looking man called Luo Cheng but since she kept her head down our heroine missed something very important. When Luo Cheng raises his head, it was none other than Ye Chong Jin.

 

• Lily gets in touch with Wan Wan via her bracelet and figures out her current mission. Curious about Ye Chong Jin’s fate after she died, Lily starts to ask Wan Wan about him but their connection dies at that very moment. Opening Ye Chong Jin’s storybook, a puzzled Wan Wan mutters that he himself is also wondering how Ye Chong Jin disappeared from his storybook and where he could’ve gone.

• After meeting with Luo Cheng, Yun Rui’s manager catches onto his heavy hint that she should sign Lily on and promptly followed his order/suggestion. Following her new assistant Feng Ning (who was in charge of the agency’s tech until he was pulled in at the last moment to be Lily’s assistant) to her apartment, Lily listens dutifully as her assistant tells her how Luo Cheng is a super successful producer so they need to make a good impression on him the next day during an important event.

Episode 7

• Doing a quick search on her phone on Luo Cheng, Lily is stunned to discover that he looks exactly like Ye Chong Jin. Thinking back to her fuzzy memories that seem to indicate that she had known Ye Chong Jin in the past, Lily wonders out loud if Ye Chong Jin is in this world as well.

• Thanks to Chong Jin (his name is Luo Cheng in this world but for the ease of keeping everything straight we’ll stick with Chong Jin) who had ordered his secretary to keep Feng Ning busy all night (he didn’t want Lily’s assistant to spend any more time in Lily’s apartment), Lily’s assistant woke up late the next morning which also made Lily late to the important event.

• Determined to meet the very important producer no matter what, Lily pretends to be a delivery girl and sneaks into the event. Caught by the security guard, Lily was about to be booted out until Chong Jin shows up and declared that he is the one that had ordered the takeout. (Right after his secretary had politely decline lunch invitation from their host using the excuse that Chong Jin is very picky about where his food comes from.)

• Jumping on the opportunity, Lily bravely asks Chong Jin to give her a chance to audition in his new movie.
Chong Jin “You want to be a celebrity? That is your wish?”
Lily “I am not trying to ask you to get me in through some back door. I just want to have a chance to achieve my dream through hard work.”
Chong Jin “Sometimes no matter how hard you try, the thing you desperately want is in another world.”
Confused, Lily wonders again if Chong Jin is a storybook diver like herself.
After promising to give Lily a chance, Chong Jin adds “Oh, one more thing. Next time, I like soup.”

•In her own world, Lily’s body has fallen into a deep sleep. Accidentally walking into Wan Wan’s library, Lily’s father finds out from Wan Wan where his daughter had gone.

• I am not sure the current Chong Jin knows his own identity. There is a scene where our hero is thinking back to Lily dying in his arms then muttering “Lily, I finally found you. I will fulfill whatever wish you want. You will know that I am the only one for you.” that makes wonder if he still thinks he is Ye Chong Jin the young general but he has to go world hopping and fulfill whatever wish his wife is chasing after so she will stay with him.

Episode 8
• Following his secretary advice that the way to chase a girl is to cook for her, Chong Jin and his secretary shows up at Lily’s apartment (actually, his own. He lives right next door to Lily’s apartment but our heroine doesn’t know that yet) with a chicken.
• Catching Lily in his arms after she failed miserably chasing the chicken around, Chong Jin mused “I have had plenty of actresses throw themselves at me. But this is the most creative one.” Embarrassed, Lilly promptly steps back. Noticing the bracelet on her wrist, Lily wonders if she should test if the man in front of her is actually Ye Chong Jin. Catching Lily’s wrist before she could touch him with her bracelet, Chong Jin shuts the door after saying he will cook the chicken instead.
• Her eyes widen with surprise when she takes a bite of the chicken Chong Jin cooked, Lily mutters “Why does this taste so familiar.” In a fuzzy memory that came back Lily, a man who looks exactly like Chong Jin had cooked for Lily in the past.


• Before Lily could figure out what her memory means, she is distracted when Chong Jin demands that she gives him some proof of her acting skill. Rising to the challenge, Lily promptly pulls out her trusty “Oh! My head hurts!” act. The very act that served Lily so well whenever Ye Chong Jin started to talk about “wifely duties.” Offended by the three men’s reaction to her impressive performance, Lily complains with a side glance at our hero “Hey! Ye Chong Jin always fell for it completely!” Narrowing his eyes, Chong Jin responds “It seems like your friend was just being really nice.”
• Lily finally starts filming and muses to herself that the script seems eerily familiar to Ye Chong Jin’s story. With a shrug, Lily declares “I guess all novels just copy each other.”
• Disgruntled as he watches Yun Rui (the idol) spin Lily around with his hands around her waist, Chong Jin halts the shoot and stares down the director until he meekly agrees to change the scene.
• Lily is ordered by the director to take off her bracelet and hands it off to En Xi for safe keeping. A bit of a troublemaker, En Xi loses the bracelet. (The bracelet was actually picked up by Chong Jin and purposefully keeping it from Lily.)
• In a panic when she realized En Xi had lost her bracelet, Lily shakes her head in frustration when Yun Rui steps up as En Xi’s protector and insists that he could just buy Lily a new bracelet. Not about to let his wife get pushed around, Chong Jin fires En Xi which makes an angry Yun Rui declare that he will quit as well. (En Xi is Yun Rui’s true love according to the original story.)


• Daddy Bai sees the bracelet Wan Wan uses to communicate with his daughter and starts to demand some answers since his lost son, Li Yan Xi had an exact same bracelet. Turns out, Daddy Bai had found Li Yan Xi as a child and brought him home. As an avid romance novel reader, Lily’s father promptly assumed Yan Xi must have timed traveled from ancient China due to his odd clothing. When Yan Xi finally disappeared, Daddy Bai simply assumed that he had gone back to his own time. Seeing Yan Xi’s unconscious body, Daddy Bai asks Wan Wan if Yan Xi had done something to Lily so she would have no memory of him. Getting an affirmative answer that Yan Xi had indeed sealed Lily’s memory of him, Daddy Bai presses Wan Wan for the reason but before he could get an answer the doorbell rings.
• Worried about her bracelet Lily goes back to the set to search for it. Chong Jin shows up and offers to help Lily in her search but of course ends up getting locked in with her. Naively believing Chong Jin when he claims that his phone is out of power, Lily decides this is the perfect opportunity to figure out if the famous producer in front of her is the Ye Chong Jin she knows. Avoiding Lily’s question about time travel, Chong Jin instead turns the conversation to what Lily would do if she was the heroine of their film (a heroine who had time traveled and took over the young general’s wife’s body), would she fall in love with the young general? Unaware that Chong Jin’s heart is hanging on her answer, Lily speculates that it would be easy to fall in love with such a perfect man but then suggests that it would also be difficult since the general did have a wife after all so the heroine would never know if he loves his wife or our heroine herself.

Episode 9
• Staring at Lily intently, Chong Jin presses Lily on the question if she herself would fall in love with a man like the general. Shaking her head with a smile, Lily replies that she wouldn’t because the young general was too smart and too brilliant of a strategist so she would never know if he was lying to her or not. Gently covering Lily with his jacket after she fell asleep on the sofa, Chong Jin whispers “If I tell you everything, could you still converse with me so freely?”
• The villain of the story, Tiang Qi sees from the news that Lily has become the new hot actress and comes up with a plan to get money from her. Changing tactic when he ends up getting kicked down by Lily after threatening her with a knife,
Tiang Qi starts yelling loudly “Look! A big star is beating people up!” Arriving in time to see Lily standing hopelessly, a furious Chong Jin swiftly disables the evil villain and whisks our heroine away.
• Still fuming, Chong Jin corners Lily the moment they step into her apartment and delivers a long speech that as an actress she needs to be extra careful. Promising to be extra careful, Lily takes the opportunity to ask Chong Jin to stop blacklisting Yun Rui. His ruffled feather smoothed once he is assured Lily is not asking the favor out of a personal interest in Yun Rui, Chong Jin takes the time to explain to Lily that blacklisting Yun Rui who has never suffered a setback in his career is for his own good and he was planning to let Yun Rui start working anyway.


• Stunned when Chong Jin tells her that he is planning to put her in the next three movies he is producing, Lily turns down his offer and says “I know you are being nice to me but I still need to finish my mission on my own…Ye Chong Jin.” Finally admitting his identity once Lily assures him that she would not be angry at him at all for not telling her the truth, Chong Jin returns Lily’s bracelet to her. Overjoyed to see her bracelet, Lily throws her arms around Chong Jin…just as Chong Jin’s secretary walks in.

(I love the scene of the two leads’ assistants sitting on the couch together. Chong Jin’s secretary mutters “I might get fired by my boss…” and Lily’s assistant mutters “I might get fired by your boss…”)
• Now that Chong Jin finally admitted his real identity, Lily starts to spill out everything she has been thinking. Quietly listening as Lily goes off on how they used to know each other then apologizes for forgetting him, Chong Jin asks silently “Lily, who am I to you? Ye Chong Jin? Or him…” Agreeing easily when Lily asks him to “go back” with her when she finishes her mission, Chong Jin sends Lily off to bed then wonders out loud “What should I do? Should I explain to you about him?” Hmm…I was pretty certain up until this point that Ye Chong Jin is the same guy in Lily’s memory but this scene seems to suggest otherwise.
• Convinced that Lily must be the one that had Chong Jin shut his company down for all of its illegal dealings, the villain comes up with another plot to ruin Lily by accusing her of first using Yun Rui to get her first role then ditching Yun Rui immediately once she hooked up with Chong Jin. Perpetually the naive fool, En Xi is easily convinced by the villain to trick Yun Rui into showing up at Lily’s press conference.

Episode 10
• In the chaos of reporters demanding answers, Chong Jin calms the wild speculations by declaring Lily to be his girlfriend and his decision to put Yun Rui into his next big movie. Unwilling to clear her name with lies, Lily steps forward and tells her version of what really happened. Thanking everyone that had helped her along the difficult path of working towards her dream Lily then points the big villain out as the one who had tried tricking her into shooting a porn.


• With the villain arrested, her fame as an actress achieved, AND finally a big LONG speech to En Xi to wake her up from being such a fool, Lily’s bracelet lights up to signal that her mission has been achieved. Getting ready to leave with Chong Jin, Lily stops when her assistant Feng Ning excitedly runs in to tell her about the villain’s arrest. Patting Feng Ning to say goodbye, Lily is stunned when her bracelet lights up…just like it always does when it touches Chong Jin. Before Lily can figure out what’s going on, both Chong Jin and Feng Ning disappear with her.
• Turns out, as Wan Wan would eventually explain to Daddy Bai, both Chong Jin and Feng Ning are parts of Li Yan Xi’s soul. (Li Yan Xi’s soul was split into four fragments so there are two more out there.) Chong Jin seems to be quite strong in his power while Feng Ning’s power is much weaker so he keeps mixing up his memories. (Chong Jin is the biggest and most vital part of  Li Yan Xi’s soul so that’s why he looks exactly like Li Yan Xi.) The interesting part is that while Chong Jin and Feng Ning have Li Yan Xi’s memories they seem to still consider themselves as independent individuals.
• Wan Wan also explains to Daddy Bai that Li Yan Xi had put the main part of his soul on Lily in order to heal her body when she was hurt badly by an enemy. This is also the reason why Lily could go in and out of the story books.
• With two more soul fragments out there and Lily being the only one who could find them for Li Yan Xi, Chong Jin makes the suggestion that they should tell Lily the truth. Nodding in agreement, the four men decide to tell Lily the truth after her boxing competition.


• Lying on her bed, Lily finds herself smiling foolishly as she thinks about Chong Jin and all the time they have together now that he has come back to her world with her. Sitting up abruptly, Lily chides her self for being silly.
• Lily’s competition the next day doesn’t go well. Lying on the mat in a daze after being hurt by her opponent, Lily looks up and the blurry figure she has seen in the past finally becomes focused.
• My absolute favorite part in this episode is when Daddy Bai go all fangirl on Chong Jin when he figures out that he is the hero of the book he has been addicted to the last few months.

Hmm…anyone thinks Chong Jin has something up his sleeve and is not about to go back to Li Yan Xi’s body without a fight?
