Unnatural Fire Episode 36: Breakup Blues and Corporate Conspiracies – The Tea is Piping Hot!
Y'all better buckle up, because Episode 36 of Unnatural Fire serves drama with a side of sinister corporate schemes. Let’s spill the tea.
The Great Cardboard Box Meltdown
Lian Xiangqin goes full rage mode when roommate Jin Chun tosses out a pile of cardboard boxes. Turns out, those boxes were "sentimental relics" from her ex-boyfriend (who apparently had a thing for hoarding stray cats?). Jin Chun, feeling guilty, goes dumpster-diving to retrieve them—only for Xiangqin to drop a bombshell: She’d already trashed all her ex’s actual boxes and replaced them with identical ones post-breakup. Girl’s out here clutching matching necklaces and replaying his old voicemails as morning alarms. Jin Chun, ever the voice of reason, tells her to "adult with dignity" and go confront the dude in China.
Meanwhile, in Corporate Villainy Land…
Lawyer Xu Tongsheng is knee-deep in the Han’s Group cheese stick scandal (yes, you read that right). The only evidence? A fake lab report. When Xu visits the testing company, they’re like, "Nope, not ours—this barcode’s a knockoff!" Cue the realization: Someone framed the late lawyer Du Danning. But who?
The Ex-Boyfriend Reveal (Spoiler: He’s Trash)
Xiangqin flies back to China to meet ex-boyfriend Han Jun, who pulls a classic "I found someone else" breakup. She plays their old voicemail romance soundtrack, but he shrugs it off with, "Grow up, I’m a commitment-phobe." Xiangqin rage-quits their relationship, vows to expose him as a "scumbag" to Han’s Group, and storms off with her luggage. Back home, Jin Chun snoops (oops, "borrows the shower") and finds a photo of Han Jun on Xiangqin’s nightstand. Dun-dun-DUN!
Plot Twist: Evil Twin Alert!
Xu connects the fake report to Han’s Group, while Jin Chun texts him Xiangqin’s Han Jun photo. Enter Shen Ye, who finally remembers the late Shen Yi (Han’s former puppet). Theory time: Han Pei—the shady Han family patriarch—faked his death using a twin brother as a body double. Meaning? The real Han Pei’s still alive… and probably the one who just dumped Xiangqin.
Hostage Situation & Fire Extinguisher Chaos
Xiangqin realizes she’s been gaslit by Han Pei (not Han Jun) and gets kidnapped. The cops scramble to track her, while Xu pulls a Mission: Impossible move at Han’s Group. He triggers a fire alarm, leading security to douse Han Pei’s passport in fire extinguisher foam. Han Pei’s rage is chef’s kiss—but his exit plan’s delayed.
Jin Chun’s Risky Dinner Date
Jin Chun flies back to China, faking a "family emergency" to bait Han Pei. He takes her to a romantic empty restaurant (red flag much?), but she’s playing 4D chess. A fake delivery call about Xiangqin’s "missing package" sends Han Pei into interrogation mode. Meanwhile, Shen Ye and Xu tail them, ready to swap Jin Chun with a cop.
Final Thoughts:
This episode’s a wild ride of emotional baggage and sociopathic CEOs. Will Xiangqin survive? Can the team prove Han Pei’s crimes before he flees the country? And why is everyone in this show allergic to therapy? Stay tuned!
Spoiler Snack:
Next episode: Jin Chun’s undercover op goes sideways, and Han Pei’s obsession with fire returns (literally). Also, prepare for a glorious courtroom showdown over… cheese sticks? Priorities, people.
