The modern C-drama Will Love in Spring released episode 14 on April 28, 2024. It features Li Xian and Zhou Yutong in the lead roles. The episode focuses on Chen Mai Dong’s (Li Xian) grandmother going missing. As Chen Mai Dong and his team collect a body from the seashore, Mai Dong notices the deceased man’s mother blaming his girlfriend for his untimely demise. The girl’s panic-stricken face reminds him of the time he was unfairly blamed for his friend’s passing.
Meanwhile, Song Ran’s sister and Zhuang Jie catch up. After introducing herself, Song’s sister tells Zhuang Jie how she fell for Chen Mai Dong at first sight, but he never felt the same. She recounts the nightmare of the day her brother passed away fighting the hooligans who were bothering her. When they started to go after her, she called Mai Dong to boast that other men fancy her. But he asked her brother to tell her to stop bothering him. As a result, his brother came to her rescue.
The woman mentions that, after the incident, Mai Dong became her biggest support system, as he was the only person who could understand what she was going through. But she selfishly mistook his empathy for love. At this point, Zhuang Jie tries to comfort her, saying that it is okay to be selfish at times.
