Wanna Be Episode 13 Recap & Spoilers: Bone Fractures, Betrayals, and a Midnight Kiss

When Wanna Be serves up drama, it doesn’t hold back. This week’s episode delivers everything from secret sacrifices to X-ray flirting (yes, that’s a thing now). Buckle up.

Xing Mo Plays Hardball (But For Love)

The brooding Xing Mo confronts Han Yijing about Jia Fan’s injured arm, bluntly warning that the high-intensity ad shoot could wreck the rookie model’s future. "You want him to end up like you?" he snaps, referencing Han’s own career burnout. Ouch. After Han reluctantly agrees, Xing Mo strong-arms CEO CEO Ling into replacing Jia Fan… with himself. When Jia Fan learns he’s benched, he’s gutted—until Han coldly reminds him of their deal: "You promised to listen if I said stop." Savage, but effective.

Hospital Flirting 101

Later, a sulky Jia Fan exits the hospital with his arm in a sling. Han "accidentally" intercepts his X-rays and deadpans, "I once had a dog with identical bone structure." Jia Fan, ever the charmer, points to a shadow on the scan: "See that heart shape? Your dog didn’t have that." Cue Han’s blush and Jia Fan whispering, "I’m giving it to you." Move over, Romeo—X-ray romantics are the new vibe.

Backstabbing Exposé

Meanwhile, Ding Chen drunkenly mumbles suspicions about Jia Fan’s sudden ousting to stone-faced Li Haoran. Cut to Xing Mo storming into their bar, tossing Ding aside, and cornering Li Haoran, who confesses to snooping through Xing Mo’s phone and intercepting calls. Plot twist: Li sabotaged Jia Fan, not Xing Mo! Han later assures Jia Fan that Xing Mo’s "a stubborn lone wolf, but trustworthy"—a backhanded compliment if we’ve ever heard one.

Xing Mo’s Origin Story (With Bonus Brick Trauma)

In a rare vulnerable moment, Xing Mo cleans up broken glass while flashbacking to his pre-modeling days as a street brawler. We see him rescue CEO Ling from a flying brick during a gang fight—a heroic moment that landed him in the hospital… and later, on a runway. "Try modeling," Ling suggested. Who knew brick-related concussions were career catalysts?

"I Did It All For You" (No, Really)

Xing Mo confronts CEO Ling, sarcastically playing the "petty opportunist" card over replacing Jia Fan. Ling, unimpressed, sees through his self-sabotage act. Finally snapping, Xing Mo admits his years of loyalty—from defending Jia Fan to taking his place—were all to protect her. Cue lingering eye contact and unresolved sexual tension. Somebody get these two a couples therapist.

Rooftop Confessions & A Stolen Kiss

Han drops off Jia Fan at his apartment, where he admits his grind for fame is to buy his dad a mansion. Han shares her own family trauma: divorced parents, a mom who abandoned her, and being raised by aunt CEO Ling. When Han shivers, Jia Fan moves in for a hug… only to be cockblocked by his ringing phone. Undeterred, Han invites him as her plus-one to a brand event. Jia Fan’s response? A swoon-worthy kiss. Slow clap for the man who turned an arm injury into a meet-cute.
