To Ship Someone Recap

Episode 1 Recap

Song Yanqi, a white-collar worker in the workplace, became obsessed with a CEO-themed online novel. She stayed up all night reading and almost missed clocking in for work the next day. Hastily, she rushed to the company for a meeting, where the boss assigned her the task of acquiring the intellectual property rights for an adaptation into film and television.

Song Yanqi understood that this was not a simple task but a real competition for her position! Due to the company's poor performance, the leader had to lay off underperforming employees, and Song Yanqi's competitor in this competition happened to be Lin Qingmiao, with whom she had never gotten along since they both started working there.

The entire company had low expectations for Song Yanqi, but she believed that the matter was not over and that there was always room for a turnaround. Her optimistic and positive attitude left her colleagues in awe. In order to secure her position, Song Yanqi confidently recommended the online novel she had stayed up all night reading, "The Star-Studded Actor Wants to Fall in Love," and assured her boss that she could ensure the author's completion of the story and obtain the copyright.

Little did she know that the author, Ji Shu, was aloof and rude, mistaking Song Yanqi for a thief.

Episode 2 Recap

While in the midst of a dream, Song Yanqi suddenly fell off the bed. Her mind was still recalling the recent plot when she heard her friend, Fu Xingxing, advising her not to pursue a thankless job. Song Yanqi mentioned that the author, Ji Shu, was a handsome guy and even if she were rejected, she wouldn't be upset. She also told Fu Xingxing that she seemed to be able to change the storyline of "The Star-Studded Actor." Fu Xingxing jokingly said she was dreaming, and Song Yanqi was half-believing, half-doubting.

Song Yanqi disguised herself as Ji Shu's girlfriend and delivered a package to his door. This gave her another opportunity to be at Ji Shu's doorstep. She presented her condition to Ji Shu, stating that she wouldn't make any drastic changes to the novel, but Ji Shu didn't believe her at all. After taking the package, he once again drove Song Yanqi away.

Back at the company, the boss saw that Song Yanqi hadn't "won over" the author yet, so he brought Lin Qingmiao into the picture. The boss stated that whoever could secure the copyright would be the planner for the project. This was an open competition, intensifying Song Yanqi's sense of crisis. Before Song Yanqi could come up with a solution, Ji Shu informed her that she had broken his package and needed to compensate him.

Episode 3 Recap

The sudden confession made both of them feel extremely awkward. To cover up the awkwardness, Ji Shu insisted on taking Song Yanqi to the hospital, using her supposed injury as an excuse. Song Yanqi had no choice but to pretend to be sick and tried every means to get out of the car. Ji Shu suspected that Song Yanqi was acting.

Along the way, Song Yanqi noticed paparazzi following Yu Le and Sun Xitian, so she pretended to get off the car and, based on her memories of the original novel, drove the paparazzi away. However, Ji Shu discovered that she was faking her illness, and Song Yanqi had to make up an excuse and invited Ji Shu to have a meal with her.

At the restaurant, Song Yanqi recalled the love triangle between Yu Le, Sun Xitian, and Ye Xining in the original novel, which was once again captured by the paparazzi and made headlines. Song Yanqi decided to put a stop to it. During the meal, Ji Shu invited Sun Xitian to become Ye Xining's dance teacher and intentionally instigated conflicts between Yu Le and Ye Xining. Song Yanqi retorted against Ji Shu, angering him several times, but the plot still couldn't come to an end. In frustration, Song Yanqi picked up a glass of water and splashed it towards Ji Shu.

Episode 4 Recap

Ji Shu was shocked to find himself in another world. Before he could figure out the situation, he realized that he was drenched in water. At the same time, Song Yanqi noticed that the plot continued seamlessly from the previous scene, and she was standing there, thinking about how to escape. After learning the details, Ji Shu grabbed Song Yanqi and returned to the company to further investigate the situation. It became clear that the real-world Song Yanqi had also entered the fanfiction world. In order to understand how to enter and exit this world and to figure out Song Yanqi's purpose for staying here, Ji Shu concealed his identity and observed Song Yanqi's movements closely.

Song Yanqi was still racking her brain on how to resolve the conflict with Ji Shu. She was afraid of being fired by him, which would prevent her from forming a CP (couple pairing). She continuously apologized to Ji Shu, and the people in the company watched this scene unfold, speculating and betting on whether the two would end up together. Unexpectedly, Ji Shu heard Song Yanqi's inner voice—it turned out to be the cheat code he activated after entering the novel world.

Episode 5 Recap

Ji Fei's unexpected appearance brought both surprise and joy to Ji Shu. It reminded him of his unborn sister, and he never expected that the novel world could fulfill this dream. Ji Fei came to Ji Shu with a determined attitude because she wanted to break up the relationship between her idols, Yu Le and Ye Xining. Although Ji Shu doted on his sister, he couldn't let her behave recklessly.

In order to have a clearer understanding of Song Yanqi's actions, Ji Shu decided to make her his assistant. However, Song Yanqi felt that this job would hinder her from forming a CP, so she deliberately made mistakes at work, leading Ji Shu to transfer her back to her original position. But the result was still in vain.

During the preparation of the new drama "Tracking," when it came time to cast the actors, Song Yanqi recalled the sweet moments between Yu Le and Ye Xining during this period. She decided to create a CP on the spot. However, she realized that Ji Shu was constantly following her, making her CP interactions no longer natural. So she decided to find a way to restart the plot.

Episode 6 Recap

Song Yanqi really wanted to go and watch Yu Le's audition. When Ji Shu found out about it, he worried that she would once again change the plot. So he used various excuses to "suppress" her and assigned her piles of work. Although Song Yanqi appeared to be inexperienced, she had good work abilities. She quickly completed the script evaluation within the given time, which surprised Ji Shu. However, in order to prevent Song Yanqi from changing the plot, he had her handle the project planning and budgeting. Song Yanqi worked overtime to complete the tasks, but Ji Shu demanded her to redo them. Song Yanqi grumbled inwardly but had to comply on the surface. Ji Shu felt a bit guilty when he heard Song Yanqi's inner voice and realized that she didn't know what the subsequent plot would be. He thought that even if he let her go, it shouldn't have much impact, so he decided to release Song Yanqi.

Finally, Song Yanqi reached the audition segment with her CP and believed that they were about to embark on the peak of their careers. She secretly celebrated for them but when she returned home from work, she saw Ji Shu hastily leaving.

Episode 7 Recap

Song Yanqi finally returned to the real world. She thought she had been away for two or three days, but in reality, it was only two hours. She went back to the company to update the progress of her projects, but her superiors felt that Song Yanqi lacked the necessary skills. They decided to let Lin Qingmiao negotiate the copyright with Ji Shu. Song Yanqi's ambitious spirit was greatly weakened.

At the same time, Ji Shu also returned to the real world. He immediately demanded that the website staff fix the website system. However, the website continued to have issues, and the novel couldn't be modified or deleted after it was edited. Ji Shu went to the company building where Song Yanqi worked to inquire about the situation. He wanted to confirm if Song Yanqi had also returned and if her presence was related to the problems with the website. After discovering that Song Yanqi knew nothing, he decided to find other solutions. On his way back, he received an unexpected contact from his ex-girlfriend, Lin Qingmiao. Ji Shu coldly rejected Lin Qingmiao's proposal for cooperation.

Episode 8 Recap

Song Yanqi's clumsy flirting skills amused Ji Shu, but she felt frustrated when she returned home. She shared all her tactics with Fu Xingxing, only to be met with ridicule. However, Song Yanqi had no intention of giving up. Back at the company, she learned that Lin Qingmiao was also persistent and trying to persuade Ji Shu through their past relationship to agree to the copyright matter. Song Yanqi refused to accept defeat and once again assured her superiors that she would "secure" the copyright.

On the other hand, Ji Shu was investigating the system issues but had no leads. His friend, Lu Qiyu, found out that Ji Shu was going camping over the weekend and informed Song Yanqi to assist her.

Song Yanqi prepared herself and pretended to coincidentally encounter Ji Shu at the campsite. However, she received a cold response from Ji Shu. Interestingly, Lin Qingmiao and her boyfriend, Shan Hang, were also camping there. It turned out that Shan Hang was Ji Shu's old classmate, but they had lost contact because of Lin Qingmiao. The three of them had a complicated love triangle in the past.

Episode 9 Recap

Song Yanqi was unwilling to give up and still decided to help the couple clarify their misunderstandings. However, Ye Xining suddenly went missing, and her phone couldn't be reached. Ji Shu noticed Song Yanqi's anxiety but didn't reveal that he knew where Ye Xining was. Instead, he went to search for her alone, intending to persuade her to give up on this relationship. At the same time, he decided to end the novel he was writing.

When Ji Shu left, Song Yanqi noticed and realized something was off. She followed him and together they arrived at Ye Xining's former high school, where they found someone. To Song Yanqi's surprise, Ji Shu came here to advise the two to break up. He told Ye Xining not to linger in a relationship without a future. In Song Yanqi's ears, Ji Shu's words seemed like an attempt to create discord. She pulled Ji Shu away and informed Yu Le of Ye Xining's whereabouts while on her way. When Yu Le arrived, he witnessed the couple reconciling.

While Song Yanqi was immersed in their sweet reunion, she suddenly noticed a person in black watching her, but they disappeared in an instant.

Episode 10 Recap

The news of Yu Le and Ye Xining's contractual relationship spread, and various gossip public accounts started adding fuel to the fire. Yu Le expressed his concerns that there might be a gap between him and Ye Xining, so he jokingly made that statement, but he still loved her. However, at this time, Yu Le faced the termination of various endorsement contracts. He had initially decided to clarify the misunderstanding through a live broadcast. However, on the day of the broadcast, Sun Xitian called Yu Le away on an excuse and cunningly made him stay, leaving only Ye Xining to appear in the live broadcast. Unable to clarify the misunderstanding, a heartbroken Ye Xining finally saw the true nature of her relationship with Yu Le and chose to break up with him. They publicly announced their breakup on Weibo, and it became a hot topic once again.

Yu Le was heartbroken but had to continue working, channeling all his emotions into dancing. When Song Yanqi learned about her CP's breakup, she burst into tears in front of Ji Shu. Ji Shu, being at a loss for the first time faced with Song Yanqi's tears, tried various ways to show goodwill and comfort her. He took Song Yanqi to eat delicious food as well.

Episode 11 Recap

The plagiarism scandal involving Ji Shu's fan fiction exploded, causing controversy online. Netizens pointed out that Ji Shu, the acclaimed author, resorted to such low means to plagiarize. Ji Shu found himself caught in the storm, leading him to stop all updates on his work. The website issued an immediate apology statement and promised to investigate the matter.

Song Yanqi never expected that her own fan fiction would cause such a big mistake. She initially thought it was her time-traveling that led to the alteration of Ji Shu's novel. Little did she know that someone had used her fan fiction to create a plagiarism incident. Song Yanqi voluntarily admitted that she was the author of the fan fiction, hoping to resolve the issue. It turned out that Ji Shu had known all along that the fan fiction was written by Song Yanqi. Feeling sorry for the impact she caused Ji Shu, Song Yanqi promised that she would never write again and hoped that Ji Shu would not reconsider the copyright issue after the completion of the novel. However, Ji Shu did not give a clear response.

Episode 12 Recap

Song Yanqi went to find Ji Shu, mustering up the courage to apologize. However, Ji Shu didn't hold onto the past. He knew that Song Yanqi didn't do it on purpose and comforted her to let it go. Meanwhile, Lu Qiyu traced the IP address of the mastermind behind the scenes to a smokescreen. He followed the trail and discovered that it was actually near Song Yanqi's home. However, it was clear that it wasn't Song Yanqi who did it. Ji Shu and the others also believed in Song Yanqi's innocence, and the investigation into the identity of the mastermind continued.

On the other hand, Song Yanqi was still worried about Ji Shu's feelings. So she decided to record a video for her readers, hoping that Ji Shu could move past the shadow of plagiarism. When Ji Shu saw the video, he was deeply moved. After sending the video, Song Yanqi waited anxiously for Ji Shu's reply. She was afraid that Ji Shu might forgive her verbally but still hold it against her in his heart. Seeing how much Song Yanqi cared about Ji Shu's thoughts, Fu Xingxing jokingly suggested that if Song Yanqi felt so guilty towards Ji Shu, she should just give herself as compensation to him.

Episode 13 Recap

Song Yanqi returned to the company, thinking that she would have to leave since she didn't secure the copyright. However, there was a turn of events. The management didn't plan on giving up the novel's intellectual property (IP) and wanted Song Yanqi to continue working on it. It turned out that Ji Shu was a hidden shareholder of Ansheng Film and Television. He knew that Song Yanqi was about to be laid off because of her novel, so he called Jia Yingjun and revealed that he was the author Ji Shu. He asked Jia Yingjun to use the reason of continuing to work on the copyright to keep Song Yanqi in the company. Song Yanqi shared the good news with her colleagues, who were also happy for her. However, amidst the joy, Song Yanqi, as the only single young woman in the company, was forced to go on a blind date as a replacement for Xu Anjing.

On the other side, Lu Qiyu received a message from Ji Shu, inviting him to play basketball together. It was the first time Ji Shu took the initiative to invite him, which made him excited and valued. Lu Qiyu noticed the change in Ji Shu's attitude towards Song Yanqi, and he was pleased to see it. He decided to assist them.

Song Yanqi went on a blind date as a substitute for Xu Anjing, but unexpectedly, she encountered Ji Shu.

Episode 14 Recap

Fu Xingxing and Lu Qiyu played matchmaker for Song Yanqi and Ji Shu, so they decided to go to a vacation resort together over the weekend. Song Yanqi started brainstorming and fantasizing about her date with Ji Shu but suddenly realized that as a girl, she shouldn't be too superficial. The interaction between Song Yanqi and Ji Shu was observed by Lin Qingmiao, who came on the vacation with her boyfriend. Lin Qingmiao took the initiative to confess her feelings to Ji Shu, but Ji Shu firmly rejected her. However, Song Yanqi witnessed only part of the rejection scene and mistakenly thought that Ji Shu still had feelings for Lin Qingmiao. Feeling jealous, Song Yanqi went to the seaside alone to vent her emotions but was pushed into the sea by a person dressed in black.

In a critical moment, "Bifeng Pavilion" appeared before Song Yanqi, and she was unexpectedly pulled into the world of fan fiction. Here, Song Yanqi escaped from death. She was frustrated about who pushed her into the sea but didn't see the face of the person in black, only noticing the scar on their wrist.

Episode 15 Recap

During this period, Song Yanqi was inseparable from Ji Shu, and Ji Shu also received love from his parents and younger sister in the world of fan fiction, gradually unraveling the knots in his heart. He no longer resented his father or blamed himself. Furthermore, Song Yanqi concluded that Ji Shu in this world had truly fallen in love with her. Realizing that she would eventually return to the real world and that she seemed to have feelings for the real-world Ji Shu, she decided to disguise herself as a materialistic and scheming woman in order to make Ji Shu give up his feelings for her. She even misbehaved in front of Ji Shu's parents, causing them to declare that they must not be together with such a girl. Ji Shu, aware of Song Yanqi's plan, not only didn't act as she had anticipated but also took the opportunity to express his own feelings for her, leaving Song Yanqi in a whirlwind of confusion.

Episode 16 Recap

Ji Shu saved Song Yanqi and couldn't help but ask why she always made people worry. Song Yanqi looked puzzled and said she didn't know why there had been so many dangers during this time. Ji Shu finally found an opportunity to confess his true identity. Song Yanqi was surprised to learn that the Ji Shu in front of her was also the real-world Ji Shu. Now she realized that Ji Shu knew about all the insults she had made, and Song Yanqi felt deeply embarrassed and couldn't face Ji Shu, so she could only run away.

In this awkward moment, Ji Shu, claiming that it was dangerous for Song Yanqi to be alone at home, suggested staying at her place tonight to ensure her safety. Song Yanqi thought about her past actions and couldn't face Ji Shu. She wanted to refuse, but Ji Shu's reasons were compelling, and she couldn't find a suitable excuse. In the end, she had no choice but to compromise.

Episode 17 Recap

Upon seeing the words "End of this chapter," Song Yanqi and Ji Shu returned to the real world during a critical moment. In the real world, Song Yanqi was struggling in the water, but Ji Shu arrived and saved her from drowning. Lin Qingmiao, who was watching nearby, felt extremely jealous seeing Ji Shu's concern for Song Yanqi. Exhausted, Ji Shu performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Song Yanqi, fearing to lose her. Fortunately, Song Yanqi regained consciousness, and Ji Shu embraced her.

Back at the mountain villa, Song Yanqi insisted that she didn't need to go to the hospital since she was fine. Shan Hang, seeing that Song Yanqi and Ji Shu were unharmed and had returned to the real world, felt even more hatred towards Ji Shu due to Lin Qingmiao's indifferent attitude towards him.

Once Song Yanqi recovered her health, Ji Shu and she made a pact to discuss how to find the culprit and discovered that Shan Hang was the mastermind behind the scenes, but they lacked evidence.

Episode 18 Recap

When Fu Xingxing sent a message, he informed Song Yanqi about Ji Shu's intention to use the pen name "Suicide." Song Yanqi decided to persuade and stop Ji Shu from doing so.

Upon returning to the company, Lin Qingmiao discovered that the relationship between Song Yanqi and Ji Shu had progressed further. As a result, she made things difficult for Song Yanqi at work. She decided to break up with Shan Hang, and due to Lin Qingmiao's provocation, Shan Hang completely entertained the idea of using the novel world to get rid of Song Yanqi and Ji Shu.

Song Yanqi went to Ji Shu's home to persuade him to give up the idea of using the pen name "Suicide" and told him that Ji Shu wanted to protect her, and she also wanted to protect Ji Shu. When they embraced each other sincerely, Song Yanqi suddenly disappeared. It turned out that she was once again pulled into the world of fan fiction.

Episode 19 Recap

Song Yanqi and Ji Shu originally thought that Ji's parents had given up, but unexpectedly the next day, someone claiming to be Ji Shu's fiancee and looking exactly like Lin Qingmiao, named Xu Tiantian, appeared. As soon as she appeared, she wanted Song Yanqi to leave. However, Song Yanqi assured herself that she would not be separated from Ji Shu. Xu Tiantian proposed to have a private conversation with Song Yanqi, and she agreed. It turned out that Xu Tiantian was not an original character from the novel but was parachuted into this fan fiction world. Song Yanqi and Ji Shu speculated that Xu Tiantian's appearance was related to Shan Hang, who perhaps wanted to use Ji Shu's feelings for Lin Qingmiao to create a rift between Song Yanqi and Ji Shu. So the two of them came up with a plan and let Xu Tiantian take Song Yanqi away, with Ji Shu following behind. If Shan Hang appeared, it would be a mantis stalking the cicada while unaware of the oriole behind. 

Episode 20 Recap

Song Yanqi and Ji Shu embarked on the exploration of how to return to the real world. They arrived at the restaurant where they first entered the fan fiction world together, hoping to uncover the mechanism to go back. Unexpectedly, when the waiter brought flowers, Shan Hang disguised himself as a waiter and brandished a dagger to attack Song Yanqi openly. In a moment of danger, Song Yanqi managed to escape, while Ji Shu worriedly blamed her for disregarding her safety. Song Yanqi reassured him that she would never let him worry again.

After Shan Hang's repeated acts of revenge, Ji Shu grew increasingly concerned about Song Yanqi's safety.

They once again discussed the boundless possibilities of the fan fiction world and first identified the cause of their time travel: the peculiar weather changes that day had altered the magnetic field.

Episode 21 Recap

Song Yanqi thought of the previous inference about breaking the deadlock. Before going back, she went to the room of the second male lead, Ji Shu. Based on Ji Shu's oral description in the real world, she unlocked the password on the computer and obtained the evidence, waiting for the real Ji Shu to take her home.

In the other side of the real world, Ji Shu discovered that the Bifengge website was being destroyed by Shan Hang. He sought the help of Lu Qiyu to crack it, but after many attempts, Lu Qiyu couldn't stop the website from being destroyed. So they decided to bring in K-shen, who had previously helped them. K-shen found that the real IP address was extremely concealed, and the other party had left many smoke bombs. If they had to find and confirm each one, they wouldn't have enough time. Furthermore, with each fake IP address destroyed, the self-destruction program of the "Bifengge" website would accelerate. Ji Shu took out the pieces of paper he had assembled and asked K-shen to crack the program. Unexpectedly, they managed to find the IP address, right at the company.

Episode 22 Recap

Ji Shu, along with K-shen, made every effort to prevent the destruction of the website. Song Yanqi once again returned to the fan fiction world. Shortly after her return, Song Yanqi was kidnapped by Shan Hang. Shan Hang threatened to let Ji Shu witness Song Yanqi losing her life because of him. Ji Shu decided to enter the fan fiction world to rescue Song Yanqi and instructed K-shen to install a tracking system on Song Yanqi in the real world through the website, serving as their aid in the fan fiction world.

Before the agreed sunrise, Ji Shu found Shan Hang and Song Yanqi. However, Song Yanqi was already covered in wounds and had lost the ability to heal quickly. It turned out that in the fan fiction world, Yu Le and Ye Xining had already let go, and their story had reached its conclusion. Song Yanqi was no longer needed in this world. Just as Shan Hang was about to push Song Yanqi into the sea, he suddenly got ejected from the fan fiction world. All of this relied on the help of K-shen in the real world. Shan Hang returned to the real world and managed to escape from Lu Qiyu and the others.

Episode 23 Recap

Ji Shu often had nightmares about Shan Hang harming Song Yanqi, and he was always filled with fear. While he was contemplating how to deal with Shan Hang, unexpectedly, Lin Qingmiao took the initiative to meet him. She explained the misunderstanding from the past and apologized to Ji Shu. However, Ji Shu had long ceased to care about this matter, and they shared a smile. But the next day, news suddenly spread that Ji Shu had reconciled with Lin Qingmiao and broke up with Song Yanqi. He openly went on a date with Lin Qingmiao in front of Song Yanqi, which devastated her. Song Yanqi spent the night drowning her sorrows, questioning whether Ji Shu had been using her all along, and realizing that he only wanted to rekindle his relationship with Lin Qingmiao. At the same time, Shan Hang also learned of this news, deepening his hatred for Ji Shu.

Ji Shu was walking alone in the underground parking lot when Shan Hang ambushed and knocked him unconscious, taking him to an abandoned old building. Ji Shu's sudden disappearance caused great concern for Lin Qingmiao, so she decided to reveal her plan of pretending to reconcile with Ji Shu to lure Shan Hang to Song Yanqi. Song Yanqi understood the plan and immediately started searching for Ji Shu.

Episode 24 (Ending) Recap

However, as the days went by, her longing for Ji Shu only grew stronger. She could always see Ji Shu in various aspects of her life, and she felt that her lovesickness had become unbearable.

While at work, Song Yanqi submitted a revised plan for adapting the IP of "The Starry Shadow Emperor Falls in Love" to her superiors.
