Episode 15 recap: Lanxi rejects Qinzhaos advances.
Qinzhao refuses to accept Lanxi's rejection, expressing his love at first sight for her. On their second encounter, he showers Lanxi with sweet words. However, Lanxi straightforwardly states that she doesn't like Qinzhao's type. She suggests that if Qinzhao wants to pursue a relationship with Qinziyue, she can make room for them. But it's clear that Qinzhao is not interested in Qinziyue. Seeing this, Lanxi directly dismisses him, while Qinzhao, feeling embarrassed, still asks Lanxi to reconsider.
Qinziyue admires Lanxi's charm, as she has always been pursued by boys since childhood. Unlike herself, who always appears dull and unremarkable. This leads Qinziyue to want to imitate Lanxi. However, Lanxi tells Qinziyue that imitation is not a sustainable approach. Lanxi acknowledges Qinziyue's beauty and intelligence but points out that she lacks confidence. Qinziyue recalls how Lanxi stood up for her during their school days when she was bullied, sparing her from physical and emotional pain. This memory brings a smile of gratitude to Qinziyue's face.
Lanxi's words help Qinziyue gain some clarity. She decides to let go of Qinzhao because he is like a wild horse that she cannot control. Cutting losses at the right time seems to be the right choice. Lanxi believes that Qinziyue's feelings for Qinzhao are not genuine love but rather a fleeting infatuation. This realization brings a sense of relief to Lanxi. The next day, in a rush to get to work, Lanxi stops the closing elevator and waits for the next one, only to find Qinzhihang and Monk Tianjing inside. She pretends to be making a phone call as an excuse.
Qinzhihang, in his pursuit of Lanxi, deliberately uses a weekend client meeting as a reason to go running with her, almost exhausting Lanxi.
