Story Recap Before Episodes 11 and 12
Love Between Lines, adapted from Zu Le’s novel Ya Xi (also known as Ga Xi), tells a dual-layered story. The drama stars Lu Yuxiao as Hu Xiu and Chen Xingxu as Xiao Zhiyu (who also plays the game character Qin Xiaoyi).
Hu Xiu joins a murder mystery game set in the Republic of China era to recover from a personal setback. In the game, she meets the charming Qin Xiaoyi. Later, in real life, she encounters Xiao Zhiyu, the man behind the game character. The two begin to navigate their growing attraction across both realities, unsure if their connection is fictional or real.
By the end of Episode 10, the lines between the scripted game and reality were becoming increasingly blurred. The central question for viewers is whether Hu Xiu and Zhi Yu will find genuine love or if their bond is just part of the fictional plot. Episodes 11 and 12 are expected to develop this tension further.
