Falling to Your World Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Lu Ting looked at the plan in front of him, but after receiving a call, he left. He looked in the direction behind him and didn't find any suspicious individuals, but as he turned around, he was immediately killed. The game was over. Fang Xiaoxiao suggested changing the game to a new script and took the opportunity to exit as a new character. They decided to eliminate contestant number 18, Lu Ting.
An Mei pleaded with the two leaders, Fang Xiaoxiao and Zhu Zhenjun, not to eliminate Lu Ting. She offered to change the storyline. Fang Xiaoxiao stated that all decisions were made based on interests, even if it was a character liked by female players. The company couldn't suffer losses due to individual preferences. An Mei's only job was Lu Ting. She had devoted all her energy to the role of Lu Ting for six years. This game allowed players to interact with their favorite characters in a one-to-one virtual world. Now, he was about to be eliminated, and she believed many people felt the same way. She would do her best to prevent Lu Ting's character from being eliminated.
An Mei received a message from Da Huang, learning that Huang Baoqiang was about to upload new plotlines and eliminate Lu Ting's character. She was told that she had half an hour to say goodbye to Lu Ting. She quickly put on the virtual glasses and entered the game. She saw Lu Ting in the café, reviewing the plan. She couldn't change the outcome of Lu Ting's death, so she could only watch him from afar. Lu Ting picked up the phone and went outside, checking if he was being followed. Just as he was about to be killed, An Mei rushed over and hugged him, saving him from the danger that was aimed at his shoulder.
Episode 2 Recap
An Mei rushed into the game and saved Lu Ting's life. The assassin chased after them, and the two hurriedly fled. They saw a symbol ahead, a hidden space created by the company, usually difficult for players to find. She had initially suggested adding an "X" mark, and she pressed on that mark, making Lu Ting trust her and leave with her.
Lu Ting and An Mei disappeared in an instant, and the assassin lost their trail. They reappeared at a church. In An Mei's impression, there should be a doctor here, but despite calling out multiple times, no doctor appeared. She had to remove the bullet for Lu Ting, and as she did, Lu Ting passed out from the pain. An Mei looked at the sleeping Lu Ting, and she increasingly felt that this game was too realistic, as if a real person was right in front of her.
In reality, An Mei fainted while wearing the game glasses, and Chairman Zhu Zhenjun couldn't wake her up no matter how much he called. In the game, He Kuan came to assist Lu Ting, and An Mei felt he seemed so real, but He Kuan didn't recognize her. As a gesture of gratitude, Lu Ting gave her a check in front of everyone. Lin Nainai made a grand entrance, acting as Lu Ting's secretary to receive him. An Mei watched Lu Ting leave, feeling jealous. At this moment, in the game, she heard someone calling her, and when she woke up, she found Zhu Zhenjun holding her. Zhu Zhenjun sent An Mei back home, and she explained it was because the rent here was cheaper.
Episode 3 Recap
The next day, An Mei went to work and learned that the system was in the process of recovery. The programmer reported to Zhu Zhenjun that the servers were normal with no significant anomalies, but Zhu Zhenjun noticed an abnormal code inside and ordered an investigation. Lu Ting instructed his secretary to investigate information about the girl he saved and the identity of the assailant. Lu Ting mentioned that he had urgent matters to discuss with An Mei and instructed his secretary to find her whereabouts.
An Mei reported that she didn't remember much from the test of the game last night. There were no suspicious individuals detected by the surveillance, and An Mei was cleared of suspicion. She took the opportunity to once again request Zhu Zhenjun not to eliminate Lu Ting. Fang Xiaoxiao believed that due to Lu Ting's declining popularity, he couldn't bring profits to the company and had to be eliminated. Zhu Zhenjun asked An Mei to temporarily transfer the problematic program to the server for observation. He mentioned that if they couldn't find the cause, they would have to restart the server, even if it meant resetting all the games to their initial state.
Lu Ting was moved to the testing server, and when he woke up, he felt that the environment had returned to its previous state. An Mei, while having a meal, thought about Lu Ting's safety, believing that there wouldn't be any danger now. It was her birthday today, and she was eating spicy hot pot alone, watching a loving couple nearby. At this moment, she called her mother, who reminded her to take care of her younger brother but forgot her daughter's birthday. Da Huang discovered that this code, if rebooted, could cause the entire system to collapse. Its destructive power was too strong. He also found that a non-player character had run into a hidden area.
Episode 4 Recap
Lu Ting restarted and found himself playing chess with Lin Nainai. He wondered why his body was not under his control, often teleporting instantly. His speech and actions were all out of his control. An Mei transferred Lu Ting to the testing server, where he was temporarily safe. Her little brother asked An Mei to sing and teased her for being too immersed in the virtual world. He asked her for some money to go out and play, but An Mei immediately brought the computer back to her room because she was worried about Lu Ting's safety. She put on the virtual glasses and purchased expensive outfits, preparing to make a dazzling appearance in front of Lu Ting.
An Mei appeared at the nightclub entrance riding a white horse. She walked up to Lu Ting, hoping that he wasn't affected by the server and wouldn't recognize her. Lin Nainai, at this moment, didn't recognize her and questioned how the CEO could know a woman dressed in a cheap gown like her. An Mei told Lin Nainai not to get too confident, reminding her that it was An Mei who designed her dress. An Mei warned Lin Nainai not to think that staying by Lu Ting's side for long would make her forget her true identity. An Mei exposed Lin Nainai's thoughts and deeds, and in her embarrassment, Lin Nainai tried to confront An Mei physically.
Lu Ting came from behind and directly hugged An Mei, realizing that he could control his body and will now. He invited An Mei to dance, while Lin Nainai sat below feeling jealous as she watched them. Lu Ting asked An Mei why he felt something whenever he touched her, and who she really was. At this moment, the assassin arrived, and An Mei took Lu Ting and left.
Episode 5 Recap
Lu Ting checked An Mei's information but found no records of her in the city. He sternly questioned who An Mei really was and why she appeared with the assassin. An Mei said she had been protecting him for six years, but now, in this moment of crisis, he was doubting her. An Mei left in sadness. Lu Ting instructed He Kuan to continue investigating An Mei, starting from six years ago.
An Mei was awakened by her little brother, realizing that she falls asleep every time she enters the game. Da Huang discovered that the company's server code resembled a person's pajamas, but he couldn't seem to clear it. The janitor removed Lu Ting's poster, which made An Mei feel regretful. To keep Lu Ting's memory, she bought that poster. Zhu Zhenjun watched An Mei holding Lu Ting's poster and could tell she had deep emotions for the character of Lu Ting. He asked An Mei about her views on real love and virtual love. An Mei said that discussing this topic at the company didn't feel appropriate. She mentioned that a virtual life could never truly replace a real one. Zhu Zhenjun's gaze revealed that he had feelings for An Mei, and he told her that if she considered him a colleague or a friend, it wouldn't be as stressful.
An Mei overheard her colleagues discussing the server's failure and the appearance of a patched-up pajama, with each department shifting blame. An Mei saw the image of the so-called pajamas and was surprised that a real-world object had somehow made its way into the game. Fang Xiaoxiao questioned the art department, particularly looking at An Mei at that moment.
Episode 6 Recap
Fang Xiaoxiao released the news about the appearance of the pajamas in the server and questioned the reason behind it, causing An Mei to feel anxious. She wondered how the real-world pajamas ended up inside the game. Fang Xiaoxiao called out several times before An Mei snapped back to reality. An Mei explained that she had no connection to this and that she couldn't program or access the server room. An Mei suspected she had really traversed into the game. Why else would the pajamas still be on her when she woke up?
Lu Ting checked all the news again but still couldn't find any information about An Mei. He began to doubt if he had misunderstood her. Fang Xiaoxiao secretly arranged for Da Huang to cause an accident directly. An Mei thought that no one had noticed her entering the game to save Lu Ting, and she wouldn't let Fang Xiaoxiao eliminate Lu Ting's character.
An Mei consulted Da Huang about why people would fall into a deep sleep when they put on the virtual glasses. Da Huang explained that this was a high-tech product, and the gaming device could synchronize with brain signals, which was also the company's goal.
Da Huang asked An Mei various questions about her concern for Lu Ting. He suspected why she cared so much about a character's life and death. He even asked if she was planning to enter the game again to save him. An Mei lied, saying that she didn't want to work overtime and wanted to finish her work quickly. An Mei decided to enter the game once more to save Lu Ting. Using her discomfort as an excuse, she quickly returned home and entered the game. She saw on the map that Lu Ting appeared at the train station. He was trading guns with someone. She went to the train station to find Lu Ting, and once again, she encountered the assassin there.
Episode 7 Recap
An Mei worried about Lu Ting's safety, so she entered the game to find him. Thanks to Lu Ting's timely appearance, he rescued her from the assassin and carefully disinfected her wounds. Lu Ting apologized to her, admitting he had misunderstood her before and shouldn't have blamed her. This time, An Mei learned that Fang Xiaoxiao always causes Lu Ting's death at nine o'clock, so she was concerned about any accidents happening. She quickly put away any knives or unexpected items.
An Mei, somewhat tipsy, mentioned how she rarely received her parents' love and felt almost forgotten by them. Lu Ting comforted her, explaining that every parent expresses love differently. He shared that he had been thinking about something lately: whenever he felt lonely, he controlled his thoughts, focusing on anticipating the future instead. An Mei held him, telling him not to be afraid, and expressing gratitude for having him. She fell asleep after saying this.
Lu Ting gently pushed her away, causing her to fall down, and by chance, they ended up kissing. However, An Mei was asleep and unaware of anything. Lu Ting closed his eyes, savoring this brief tenderness, and naturally held her in his arms. The next day, An Mei woke up in Lu Ting's room. She observed everything in the house and noticed Lu Ting preparing breakfast. Suddenly, she felt a sense of belonging and smiled as she walked over to Lu Ting. They stood side by side, cooking eggs. At that moment, a red mark appeared on Lu Ting's neck.
Episode 8 Recap
An Mei woke up again and realized that time had reversed. She hurriedly ran to the living room and saw Lu Ting cooking. She rushed over, knowing that he would be attacked in the next second. Zhu Zhenjun looked at the pajama pattern in the game and wondered who could have entered the server without being detected. Fang Xiaoxiao noticed that An Mei had taken leave, and she had the audacity to take a leave with the company being so busy.
An Mei had been in a deep sleep. She was eating Lu Ting's breakfast in the game, and it felt as real as in reality. She could perceive the taste and pain. She suddenly remembered getting drunk last night and tentatively asked Lu Ting if she fell or did anything embarrassing. Lu Ting said that when she kissed him last night, she mentioned that he tasted like gummy bears. Upon hearing this, she wished she could disappear.
Lin Nainai came to pick up Lu Ting for a company meeting. An Mei asked the driver to check the condition of the car and ensured there were no issues before they could ride. She also discovered information about the assassin, which seemed to be related to Vice President Lu. When Lu Ting heard that it was related to his uncle, An Mei also suddenly remembered that Fang Xiaoxiao had specifically set up an antagonist character named Lu Shuyu to make Lu Ting log off. An Mei and Lu Ting arrived at the company. Just because Lu Ting didn't ask about her identity doesn't mean he didn't want to know. Regarding Lu Shuyu's actions, he recalled when he was a child, hiding under the table and witnessing a man shoot his parents. The man's actions were exactly like Lu Shuyu's.
Episode 9 Recap
Lu Ting often has a nightmare, dreaming of the process of his parents being killed. An Mei knows that this was intentionally added to enrich his character background. As they got out of the car, An Mei saw the assassin sitting in a car nearby, monitoring them. An Mei entered Uncle Lu's room, where many people were standing outside. Seeing his nephew bring his girlfriend to meet the family, Uncle Lu warmly invited them to sit.
Lu Ting asked him if those people were sent by him. Uncle Lu denied it, asking what those people who killed him meant. An Mei explained that Lu Ting wasn't interrogating him but discussing with him.
Fed up, Lu Ting pulled out a handgun and asked if he killed his family. Uncle Lu denied it, pointing out that he and Lu Ting's father were blood brothers; how could he kill his own brother? He suspected that someone was trying to provoke a conflict. An Mei stated that denying it doesn't change the facts. Uncle Lu stood up and said Lu Ting shouldn't doubt him, gradually lowering his hands.
He had worked hard on the company for many years not to let down the trust of his older brother and sister-in-law, and especially to expand the territory for Lu Ting. There was strong family bond between them, so why would he want to kill him? He urged Lu Ting not to be swayed by others' provocations and questioned An Mei's intentions. The old fox left, and An Mei realized it was a program command; this old fox gave the order to kill. But how could she prove he did it?
Lu Ting suspected that the appearance of the assassin was brought by An Mei, and just as she was about to explain, An Mei suddenly disappeared.
Episode 10 Recap
The company colleagues worked overnight to fix the server vulnerability. An Mei rushed over and asked if they worked late last night. She learned that the timing of the server issue matched her entry into the game. At that moment, Fang Xiaoxiao arrived and mentioned that An Mei's timing for taking leave was too coincidental – she always seemed to be absent when server issues occurred. Could it be that external individuals had access to internal information?
Zhu Zhenjun investigated the possibility of human intelligence fully replacing game controls. He instructed Da Huang to shut down all the servers related to Lu Ting. He had the skills that had been used against Lu Ting upgraded, and a few challenging skills added, ensuring there wouldn't be an instant kill. Zhu Zhenjun had some suspicions in his mind about certain matters. While delivering takeout to Zhu Zhenjun, An Mei noticed an upgrade notification for the assassin on his computer.
Zhu Zhenjun elevated the skills of the assassin and implemented a stealth function. He realized that Lu Ting had developed some form of autonomy, so he set up a test for him. An Mei explained that she had devoted all her energy to Lu Ting over the past six years and hoped Zhu Zhenjun would protect him. Suddenly, the lights went out in Lu Ting's home, and he felt a force immobilizing him. Unable to see anything, struggling for breath, he grabbed a nearby glass of water, revealing the assassin when he splashed water. Lu Ting hurriedly ran out the door. During a bathroom break, An Mei put on the gaming glasses and entered the game to protect Lu Ting.
Episode 11 Recap
Lu Ting is being pursued by an assassin. This time, the assassin's skills have been enhanced by Zhu Zhenjun. Fortunately, An Mei appears just in time and stabs the assassin from behind, causing the assassin to immediately disappear. Zhu Zhenjun looks at the game's abnormal code appearing again and forcefully enters to see who Lu Ting really is.
Lu Ting doesn't understand everything that's happening, doesn't understand why he's being repeatedly pursued, and why An Mei can repeatedly help him out of danger. Under his pressing questions, An Mei tells him that the world they're in is illusory, and she's from another world, that's why she keeps saving him. At that moment, an alarm clock goes off, and An Mei needs to return to the real world in time, instructing Lu Ting not to leave the house before she leaves.
Zhu Zhenjun enters the game and arrives at Lu Ting's home, seeing Lu Ting sitting in the courtyard. Zhu Zhenjun doesn't see An Mei. An Mei suggests setting boundaries for Lu Ting's activities to better lure in invaders. Zhu Zhenjun finds this proposal good, and An Mei instantly becomes happy, which captivates Zhu Zhenjun. An Mei sets the activity range, but in reality, it's to protect Lu Ting. She hands over the storyline to Da Huang, and Da Huang sets the program based on the instructions.
Episode 12 Recap
The lights in Lu Ting's room suddenly went out, and when they lit up again, he found himself in a sealed space. Da Huang in the real world found it unbelievable – Lu Ting seemed so alive. Zhu Zhenjun mentioned that those being experimented on would experience auditory hallucinations over extended periods in such an environment. Da Huang felt it was cruel, but Zhu Zhenjun stated that they were dealing with mere code. If Lu Ting possessed human emotions and desires, they anticipated seeing how he would develop in the future.
Lu Ting believed what An Mei had told him before and realized he was in an illusory world. Zhu Zhenjun watched as Lu Ting increasingly broke down on the computer, feeling a certain expectation. An Mei believed that Lu Ting truly existed in another world. Humans shouldn't easily determine his life or death. If evolution granted him human perceptions, he should be treated kindly. An Mei continued to provide new storylines to Da Huang and quietly told him that it was arranged by Mr. Zhu for the sake of observation. Da Huang believed it to be true.
Lu Ting slept in the sealed space and was awakened by a bright light. He saw the outside world, and the room had fruits and juice. Words appeared on the cup, with heart-shaped patterns, along with some warm messages, improving his mood and relieving his suppression. These words were the gifts that An Mei had prepared for him in the real world. She had been watching over him.
Episode 13 Recap
An Mei took advantage of her colleagues going to lunch. She held the gaming glasses and walked into Lu Ting's room once again. At this moment, Lu Ting was feeling down, and she knew that he wasn't in a good mood. She had no other choice but to do this. Lu Ting understood that he was just a set of data and code. When asked what kind of code he was, and what role he played in the game, An Mei told him that he was a perfect person, something that many women in real life couldn't find, and it took her a year to shape him. Lu Ting asked An Mei to destroy him. He saw no meaning in continuing to exist. He could bring hope to humanity, but he had become a tool to satisfy their ridiculous code. At this moment, he was on the verge of collapse, and he drove An Mei away.
An Mei sat gloomily at her desk, recalling what Lu Ting had said to her. She felt deeply hurt. Lu Ting remembered the first time he saw An Mei, every time he faced difficulties, she resolved the crisis. He also remembered the times when An Mei kissed him. Zhu Zhenjun noticed that Lu Ting was feeling down and took this moment to carefully examine Lu Ting's code. An Mei sat in the company all night, and she realized that humans couldn't be so selfish. She should put her life in the real world, and he couldn't just be a tool; he should have his own life as well.
An Mei handed the new settings to Da Huang. Da Huang asked her how she managed to turn a sealed space into a vast glass area. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was working overtime at the company, An Mei entered the game again, saying she was going to sever everything.
Episode 14 Recap
During lunchtime, An Mei entered the game. He was awakened at this moment. Didn't he warn An Mei not to come? Now, An Mei finally mustered the courage to express her feelings for him. She kissed him directly and said she had found a way to take him out. So, An Mei created a fake Lu Ting. This fake Lu Ting had no emotions and continued to stay in the house.
An Mei brought him to a courtyard. The scenery here was beautiful; it was their secret garden. There was his bedroom and a place to have tea and study. The courtyard was very elegant. The fake Lu Ting drank and read books every day. Due to his excessively quiet behavior, Zhu Zhenjun grew suspicious. Da Huang also wondered if Lu Ting knew they were observing him and was deliberately putting on a show for them. He pretended to revert to his initial settings.
Lu Ting and An Mei sat in the courtyard, drinking tea. Lu Ting said he liked this place because of An Mei. His first memories began with her, and everything felt like a dream. There were many blurry fragments of memories. If he truly originated from a set of code, he must have awakened after coming into contact with her.
An Mei was Lu Ting's virus; it was because of encountering her that he was poisoned. This kind of poison somehow made him lose control. An Mei and Lu Ting fell in love in this courtyard, playing around during the day and watching the stars and moon at night. The next day, An Mei grinned at her phone. Zhu Zhenjun walked over and said the upgrade to Lu Ting's room was well done, showing how much she cared about Lu Ting. Zhu Zhenjun's jealousy was evident on his face, especially when Fang Xiaoxiao made An Mei work overtime, and Zhu Zhenjun confronted her directly.
Episode 15 Recap
Fang Xiaoxiao intentionally belittled An Mei in front of Zhu Zhenjun, causing her to work overtime. Zhu Zhenjun counter-questioned Director Fang if the Art Department only consisted of An Mei alone. He wondered why all the tasks were assigned to her. An Mei stated that she willingly volunteered for overtime. Zhu Zhenjun announced a company outing tonight and insisted everyone's attendance. He treated everyone to have fun, yet An Mei sat alone playing on her phone. Zhu Zhenjun and An Mei had a private drink, which triggered Fang Xiaoxiao's jealousy.
Nai Nai brought a birthday cake to celebrate Lu Ting's birthday. She mentioned locating this place based on his car's location. An Mei intended to go to the restroom but felt dizzy from drinking too much. Fang Xiaoxiao approached and advised An Mei to go back and rest. An Mei lashed out, calling Fang Xiaoxiao an old witch, accusing her of causing harm without any kindness.
In her drunken state, An Mei pushed down Fang Xiaoxiao. In retaliation, Fang Xiaoxiao accidentally spilled alcohol on Zhu Zhenjun. He voluntarily escorted An Mei home. Nai Nai expressed surprise at not being able to contact him for so long, only to find out he was hiding with An Mei. She took the chance to badmouth An Mei, labeling her as a shameful third party. Lu Ting warned Nai Nai to watch her words and her role.
Nai Nai always believed that she and Lu Ting were the most compatible couple. Seeing Lu Ting's strong aversion, she had self-awareness and offered him tea. She nonchalantly prepared tea for Lu Ting while secretly plotting something in her mind.
Episode 16 Recap
Nai Nai tied Lu Ting up. What did she mean to him in his heart? Did the six years of changing for him, learning chess and tea-making, enduring the pain of scalds, all while disguising her true nature, not count? Even though this was her inherent job, she loved him nonetheless. Lu Ting acknowledged that Nai Nai had done her job well and he trusted her, but this wasn't love. Nai Nai knew well that it was love, all because of An Mei's appearance.
Lu Ting said her role was his assistant. Nai Nai didn't understand why she was assigned that role, but she believed that pursuing him was the only way to feel happiness. So, she wanted to be with Lu Ting always.
Zhu Zhenjun escorted An Mei home and gently took care of her, giving her water. An Mei held onto Zhu Zhenjun's hand and called out Lu Ting's name. She liked him for his handsomeness and for being the only person in the world who listened to her thoughts. Only those who had experienced loneliness could understand. Lu Ting agreed with Nai Nai's viewpoint. True love was about shining light on each other and being there for each other. It was that kind of love that's held in the palm of one's hand, afraid it might melt away, making a person lose control. An Mei not only illuminated him but also made him feel warmth.
Zhu Zhenjun touched An Mei's head and asked if there was someone in the real world who would be willing to do all this for her, would she accept it? An Mei agreed, yet still called out Lu Ting's name. Lu Ting promised to find An Mei, even if it was risky. Nai Nai reluctantly untied him and let him go. In An Mei's room, Zhu Zhenjun found her pajamas, the very one with the server code left on it.
Episode 17 Recap
An Mei woke up in a daze in the middle of the night. The first thing that crossed her mind was that it was Lu Ting's birthday. She hurriedly entered the game but couldn't find any trace of Lu Ting. Zhu Zhenjun was currently controlling the computer and discovered the pajamas inside it. He had been monitoring the fake Lu Ting inside the sealed room. An Mei was asleep in the secret garden when Lu Ting gently woke her up. He had come specifically to celebrate her birthday. He asked her to make a wish, and he hoped that An Mei's future days would be filled with happiness and joy. The two of them blew out the candles.
An Mei lay in bed, immersed in memories of the days she spent with Lu Ting in the game. That night, she stayed over at Lu Ting's house, giving herself to him. She wore a contented smile at this moment. The next day, Zhu Zhenjun called An Mei, but she didn't wake up, and the ringing of the phone remained unheard.
At this time, Fang Xiaoxiao arrived at Zhu Zhenjun's office. She informed her uncle about recent company matters. Her uncle advised Zhu Zhenjun to prioritize the company's interests. He also mentioned that Lu Ting was a big threat, and no matter what method was used, the virus code must be removed. Zhu Zhenjun expressed his confusion, asking whether his uncle had promised that he wouldn't intervene in company affairs and would only invest. Why was he now interfering in management matters? Fang Xiaoxiao exaggeratedly reported everything Zhu Zhenjun had done to her uncle, causing his position and capabilities to be questioned by the investors.
Episode 18 Recap
An Mei woke up and saw Lu Ting guarding her by her side. Holding onto Lu Ting, she felt so relieved to wake up and see him. Due to An Mei's unconsciousness, Zhu Zhenjun and his younger brother immediately carried her to the hospital. In the game, she was getting ready to have a meal with Lu Ting when she noticed her fingers faintly appearing. She had forgotten to set her alarm clock to wake up and was worried she might never wake up.
The doctor conducted a thorough examination but couldn't find the reason for An Mei's unconscious state. If she didn't wake up soon, she might never wake up again, and her body was gradually weakening. Lu Ting hoped that An Mei could return to the real world to see for herself, fearing that she might not be able to exit her consciousness.
Fang Xiaoxiao and Da Huang also came to the hospital to visit An Mei. They learned that she had fallen into a coma due to entering the game. Zhu Zhenjun realized that An Mei's consciousness had been swapped with the code, allowing her to interact indiscriminately with Lu Ting in that world. The issues arose due to insufficient computational capacity. Lu Ting assured An Mei that as long as she was physically fine, they would have occasional chances to meet again.
Zhu Zhenjun worried that An Mei's consciousness might not want to leave, and the computer didn't want this code to disappear either. Then, it might be impossible to come back. Fang Xiaoxiao secretly thought it might be better if An Mei couldn't return to this world. Every time An Mei entered the computer server, there were errors, and she worried that Zhu Zhenjun wouldn't be able to locate her in the game. Zhu Zhenjun instructed Baoqiang to quickly find An Mei's location. He stayed behind to continue trying to wake An Mei and told Fang Xiaoxiao not to make any decisive moves in the game. However, Fang Xiaoxiao concealed this from Zhu Zhenjun and forcefully entered the game using an unlimited card.
Episode 19 Recap
Huang Baoqiang located An Mei's position. It was in the area separated by a barrier just before Lu Ting. Zhu Zhenjun mentioned that he and Huang Baoqiang had awakened An Mei simultaneously from the outside world and the internal calculations. Fang Xiaoxiao, also known as Nai Nai, entered the game this time holding an Infinite Card to keep An Mei within the game. Unexpectedly, her card could withstand any harm against her. Lu Ting couldn't let An Mei get hurt, so he snatched the card from Nai Nai. Nai Nai fell unconscious, and Fang Xiaoxiao appeared, deciding to personally deal with An Mei.
Huang Baoqiang discovered that Fang Xiaoxiao had secretly entered the game and tried to stop her, even though colleagues outside the door tried to prevent it. Fang Xiaoxiao used the Infinite Card to create a barrier, intending to keep An Mei permanently within the game. In an attempt to save her, Lu Ting attempted to take the Infinite Pen from Fang Xiaoxiao's hand, but she was no match for her. Meanwhile, in reality, Huang Baoqiang and his colleagues began to fight, all trying to save An Mei. Nai Nai woke up and saw her beloved Lu Ting injured. She stood in front of him, and then she disappeared before Lu Ting's eyes.
Lu Ting persistently tried to take the Infinite Card, and finally, severely wounded, appeared before Fang Xiaoxiao. Just as the Infinite Card was about to kill Lu Ting, Huang Baoqiang stormed into Xiaoxiao's office and removed her gaming glasses, pulling her back to the real world.
Lu Ting aimed to destroy this world; only then could An Mei return to the real world. He asked An Mei to promise him that she would have confidence and always be happy. With that, Lu Ting vanished before An Mei's eyes.
Episode 20 (Ending) Recap
Both Lu Ting and An Mei were in a state of unconsciousness. At this moment, tears welled up in An Mei's eyes. Faintly, she could hear her mother's cries, and as she slowly opened her eyes, she realized her mother had been by her side, guarding her. Three months later, Zhu Zhenjun left the company to directly engage in the research and development of new equipment. An Mei also switched to a new company, channeling all her energy into real-life endeavors.
Lu Ting had made her feel the greatness of love. She was no longer sorrowful and hadn't forgotten Lu Ting. Because Lu Ting was happy with the meaning of being alive, he awaited her in the distance. She also came to understand that life had no coincidences; everything had a purpose for existence. She diligently sought the pleasures of life, and with the presence of love in the world, she found that everything changed in a different way. She also grasped the concept that every moment was eternal.
A delivery arrived, and upon opening it, she discovered it was a necklace sent by Zhu Zhenjun. The accompanying note wished her happiness and joy, hoping she would like the gift. While wandering around a cake shop, An Mei suddenly felt that the silhouette of a passing man resembled Lu Ting's greatly. She hurriedly chased after him, trailing behind him until they reached a crossroads. Astonishingly, the scene here was exactly the same as the place in the game where she had rescued Lu Ting. She stepped into a cafe and saw Lu Ting sitting far away, sipping coffee and reading a magazine. This was the very scene that had been set for the character Lu Ting in the game. Lu Ting sensed An Mei's presence, and the two of them were finally reunited.
