Derailment Episode 2 Recap

Jiang Xiaoyuan woke up once again, finding herself by the river with an ID card next to her. The name and birthday on the card were identical to Jiang Xiaoyuan's, except for the registered residence, which was in a small mountain village in Baiyang County, Sichuan, unlike Jiang Xiaoyuan's registration in Chongqing. Concluding that this was not her ID card, Jiang Xiaoyuan realized she had been knocked off the bridge. Where was this place? Facing the unfamiliar surroundings, Jiang Xiaoyuan felt frightened. Despite trying to find her way on unsteady legs, exhaustion caused her to collapse on the roadside. When she woke up, she was on a truck, and the driver, a woman named Zhang Jie, kindly explained that she was delivering goods to the city and took her along as company. However, the destination was not Chongqing but Luoshan City.

At a service station, Jiang Xiaoyuan rushed to a convenience store to use the phone. Unable to recall her special assistant's number, she called her father, but no one answered. It was then that Jiang Xiaoyuan noticed the time here was not 2025 but 2018! Overwhelmed by fear, she despondently got back on Zhang Jie's truck, and Qi Lian, seeing her, seemed contemplative. His phone received a call, but upon returning it, they found it was from the convenience store nearby. Qi Lian didn't question it and continued searching for Xu Jingyang.

Seeing Jiang Xiaoyuan's fearful expression, Zhang Jie comforted her, suggesting they go to see a doctor for her injuries. Jiang Xiaoyuan borrowed Zhang Jie's phone again to call her father, still unable to connect, so Zhang Jie took her home to rest. Qi Lian arrived at the place where Jiang Xiaoyuan had awakened, discovering blood on the ground. Xu Jingyang, is it you?

Following Zhang Jie to her home, Jiang Xiaoyuan found herself in an old residential building with a daughter. Feeling the time travel was absurd, she only wanted to go home. Although the years had changed, returning to Chongqing should lead her back home. But it was too far from Chongqing, and Jiang Xiaoyuan had only 520 yuan; she could only afford a plane ticket.

Qi Lian continued searching for Xu Jingyang's whereabouts, but the police had no information about him, and everyone claimed Xu Jingyang might not even exist. Jiang Xiaoyuan woke up early, feeling uncomfortable in this environment. Suddenly, a flowerpot fell from upstairs, knocking Zhang Jie unconscious. Tearfully, Zhang Tian begged Jiang Xiaoyuan for help, but with only 520 yuan, they couldn't afford the medical expenses. The remaining 58 yuan needed was unexpectedly covered by Qi Lian.

Hungry and penniless, Jiang Xiaoyuan appeared desolate on the streets. Now she couldn't even afford a train ticket. Qi Lian suddenly appeared, and Jiang Xiaoyuan thought he had come to collect a debt. She hurriedly asked him to get it from the mother and daughter. However, Qi Lian found it strange why Jiang Xiaoyuan pretended not to know him. Feeling dizzy, Jiang Xiaoyuan woke up in a hospital ward with Qi Lian by her side. Thinking Qi Lian was trying to flirt, she, a well-known heiress of the Jiang Group, was disdainful. She even called her father directly, but the call went to Qi Lian's phone. Searching the news, Qi Lian found out that Jiang Xiaoyuan's supposed father, Jiang Tianfeng, had died in 2009. Unwilling to believe, Jiang Xiaoyuan insisted that Chongqing did have the Jiang Group.

With tears in her eyes, Jiang Xiaoyuan walked through the hospital corridor, feeling lost. In a daze, she seemed to see her former self shining brightly, questioning why she came to her world. Jiang Xiaoyuan speculated that she didn't travel through time but entered another parallel world where she didn't belong. To return to her original world, she attempted to jump into the river but was rescued and brought to the police station. Qi Lian, who came to bail her out, was seen as having romantic entanglements with her, and the police tried to convince them otherwise.
