Timeless Love Episode 15 Recap
> Timeless Love Recap
Pei Xiaoyun excitedly told Cheng Feng that she was a trending topic again, this time with good news. She expressed surprise at Miss An's true nature, recalling how they had felt sorry for her injury, only to find out Miss An had arbitrarily insisted on her involvement in the choreography. Cheng Feng calmly revealed that she had asked Dai Baoling to spread the news.
Pei Xiaoyun then felt slighted, realizing she was the last to know, and accused Cheng Feng of being biased. Cheng Feng playfully countered, noting that Jiang Dian had once said she was not devoted, and now Pei Xiaoyun called her biased, so at least she had a heart. Pei Xiaoyun then admired a music box Jiang Dian had given Cheng Feng, expressing envy that Cheng Feng was loved by such an excellent man.
Cheng Feng, however, pointed out Pei Xiaoyun's own affection for an excellent person, Lian Ruoshen, asking if he was still merely her student. Pei Xiaoyun insisted he was, but Cheng Feng pressed her on it. At Royal Entertainment, the big boss praised Lian Ruoshen for his EP sales, which had exceeded ten million copies, calling it a good start and instructing Dai Baoling to follow up on publicity and arrange a celebration party.
Dai Baoling assured him they would not disappoint. The boss then questioned Zhou Yao if he felt pressure, urging him not to fall behind. Zhou Yao admitted to feeling the pressure but saw it as motivation, promising not to disappoint. Pang Ting echoed his sentiment. Lian Ruoshen, still processing his rapid success, asked Dai Baoling if he was truly famous. He profusely thanked her, crediting her for his achievements.
Dai Baoling jokingly cut him off before leaving for a publicity meeting. Lian Ruoshen then found Pei Xiaoyun, joyfully telling her he had succeeded. He gave her a special bottle he bought because she usually didn't drink enough water. He then invited her to a special place, dismissing her suggestion to invite others, saying he only wanted to be with her.
At an amusement park, Lian Ruoshen surprised Pei Xiaoyun by revealing he had booked the entire place, even preparing suitable clothes for her to enjoy the rides. They had a blast, with Pei Xiaoyun playfully calling him a scoundrel after one ride. She then expressed regret for her past nagging and lack of support for his singing, but Lian Ruoshen interrupted, saying they would only talk about their happiness that day, not academic or career matters.
Dai Baoling visited Cheng Feng's book cafe, complimenting her dedication to her business. She announced her intention to invest in Cheng Feng's dance studio and partner with her in the future, emphasizing that both she and Lian Ruoshen valued friendship and would not abandon those who helped them. Dai Baoling then enthusiastically recounted how Lian Ruoshen, before even receiving his first payment, had thoughtfully bought her a massage chair.
Just then, a staff member announced that a massage chair for Cheng Feng, also from Lian Ruoshen, had arrived. Dai Baoling was visibly embarrassed, while Cheng Feng simply requested it be returned, citing lack of space. Cheng Feng then playfully exposed Dai Baoling's true feelings, asking when she had fallen for Lian Ruoshen. Dai Baoling confessed it began at the university anniversary when his singing deeply moved her, and she was later impressed by his bold and resilient character.
Cheng Feng asked if she knew Lian Ruoshen's feelings, but Dai Baoling stated she didn't care whom he liked, only who she liked, promising not to cause trouble for anyone and asking Cheng Feng to keep her feelings a secret. Cheng Feng jokingly declined to choreograph Lian Ruoshen's future dances for free, stating she also needed to provide for her boyfriend. Later, Jiang Dian and Cheng Feng stood before a large phoenix artwork.
Jiang Dian explained it was his inspiration, expressing his hope that they would always rise anew, overcoming any future obstacles together. They then shared a passionate kiss. Meanwhile, at Cheng Feng's dance studio, many prospective students were signing up. However, the landlord arrived, expressing concern about a dance class damaging the expensive floors and demanding Cheng Feng buy the building outright if she intended to proceed. Cheng Feng assured her she would, but the landlord insisted on immediate payment.
Cheng Feng asked Jiang Dian to manage the students while she privately spoke with the landlord. As she walked away, students began to demand refunds, expressing doubts about the reliability of the studio given the situation. The landlord attempted to force Cheng Feng to sign a lease termination, citing Cheng Feng's supposed financial difficulties, but Cheng Feng refused, stating her contract was still legally binding.
The landlord then revealed that another buyer had offered an additional one million yuan above the original price for immediate payment. She offered Cheng Feng the chance to buy the building for three million yuan by the next day, otherwise, she would reclaim it. Jiang Dian, overhearing, confronted the landlord, accusing her of forceful selling and aggressively pressuring his girlfriend. Zhou Yao then appeared, offering to pay Cheng Feng's debt.
The landlord subtly encouraged Cheng Feng to choose an older, wealthy, and considerate boyfriend like Zhou Yao. Cheng Feng dismissed the landlord and sharply told Zhou Yao to leave and stop being an eyesore. Zhou Yao insisted he was the only one who could help her, but Cheng Feng, holding Jiang Dian's hand, firmly told Zhou Yao to stay away, not wanting her boyfriend to be jealous.
Zhou Yao, undeterred, told Cheng Feng to call him if she needed help, as his number hadn't changed. The landlord then sneered at Cheng Feng's choice of boyfriend. Cheng Feng confided in Jiang Dian that they might have to move, but he reassured her they would face it together. Jiang Dian received a message from Lian Ruoshen, asking him to watch an interview. In the interview, Lian Ruoshen’s rapid rise to fame was discussed.
He initially made a joke about being compared to Eddie Peng, then emphasized cultivation over appearance. He then sincerely attributed his success to his own efforts, the support of his fans, and the help of his friends. He specifically thanked his "talent scout" agent Dai Baoling, choreographer Cheng Feng, and his good friend Lu Bie for songwriting.
At the entertainment company, the big boss criticized Zhou Yao's new song choreography, stating it lacked the youthful vigor of Lian Ruoshen's dance, describing it as ordinary and soulless. He suggested postponing the release. Pang Ting argued against this, highlighting Zhou Yao's year of preparation and the potential harm to his career and fan base. Zhou Yao proposed collaborating with Cheng Feng again, leveraging her renewed fame from Lian Ruoshen's MV.
He argued to the boss that her current financial difficulties made it the perfect time to approach her, as an offer of cooperation would be a timely rescue. Pang Ting clenched her fist in frustration. Later, Pang Ting learned via a phone call that Zhou Yao's endorsement deal had been switched to Lian Ruoshen because the brand owner's mother preferred him. Zhou Yao, concerned he might become a has-been, was reassured by Pang Ting.
Cheng Feng calculated she still needed 1. 2 million yuan. Dai Baoling generously offered her 300,000 yuan, her life savings, and even suggested selling her cherished bags and car. Cheng Feng, unwilling to let her make such sacrifices, gently declined. Dai Baoling then suggested signing a strategic cooperation agreement with Royal Entertainment, as DK had previously shown interest. Cheng Feng refused, stating she did not want any further involvement with Zhou Yao because of Jiang Dian.
Dai Baoling, though finding it amusing, expressed happiness for Cheng Feng's newfound passion and vowed to find other resources. Meanwhile, Lian Ruoshen was mobbed by fans at Linxi University. Jiang Dian and Cheng Feng walked hand-in-hand behind the crowds. When a sprinkler turned on, Jiang Dian shielded Cheng Feng with his jacket, and they shared a tender kiss. Unbeknownst to them, Chen Huiyun, Jiang Dian's mother, observed their intimacy.
She later confronted a professor, demanding that Jiang Dian withdraw from his research and cease contact with him, informing the professor that she had already arranged for Jiang Dian to study abroad. The professor advocated for Jiang Dian's talents and ambitions, urging Chen Huiyun to support him rather than control him. However, Chen Huiyun stated that Jiang Dian, as the sole heir of the Jiang family, was bound to a pre-arranged future, dismissing talent and ambition as irrelevant.
She further accused the professor of encouraging Jiang Dian's rebellious decision to change majors. Jiang Dian, receiving a call, learned his mother had discovered his major change and had to return home, assuring Cheng Feng he would handle it. Back at the book cafe, a staff member pointed out Chen Huiyun, who had been sitting ominously for a long time.
Cheng Feng politely greeted her, acknowledging her as Jiang Dian's mother, and calmly addressed Chen Huiyun's prior investigation into her background, offering to answer any questions directly. Chen Huiyun, refusing tea, stated her purpose directly: she wanted Cheng Feng to leave Jiang Dian. Cheng Feng asked if Jiang Dian knew of this visit, to which Chen Huiyun responded that he didn't need to know, as she controlled his life and had arranged for him to go abroad.
Cheng Feng subtly scoffed, noting Jiang Dian's resilience despite his upbringing. Chen Huiyun retorted by labeling Cheng Feng as a woman attempting to climb the social ladder. Cheng Feng, maintaining her composure, stated that while she respected Chen Huiyun as Jiang Dian's mother, she would not end their relationship unless Jiang Dian himself asked her to. Chen Huiyun warned her not to regret this decision.
The staff member, outraged by Chen Huiyun's lack of a dramatic financial offer, was told by Cheng Feng not to inform Jiang Dian. That night, Chen Huiyun confronted Jiang Dian at home, berating him for his secrets, including his major change and relationship. Jiang Dian, in turn, passionately defended Cheng Feng and criticized his mother's emotional distance and controlling nature, asserting that she had no right to be disappointed.
He vehemently refused to break up with Cheng Feng, even if it meant his death. Chen Huiyun dismissed his words as childish and gave him an ultimatum: break up with Cheng Feng and pursue physics, or lose physics entirely. Jiang Dian refused this "either/or" game, stating he desired both, and declared that he would decide his own life.
Enraged, Chen Huiyun ordered that he be confined in his room until his visa was processed, at which point he would be sent abroad. Jiang Dian struggled against his captors, refusing to go.
