Chapter 283 The Fall of Dreams

Yun Junrui lay unconscious in the palace of the Apocalypse Land. Though his fever had temporarily subsided thanks to medication, he remained unconscious. His body lay quietly on the bed, his face etched with a trace of pain, as if experiencing an unspeakable dream. In reality, Gu Yazhu and Yun Xiaoling anxiously stood by, awaiting a diagnosis from the young genius doctor, Luo Qi.

In his dream, Yun Junrui's consciousness returned to the day he first met Lu Ling'er. It was a drizzly morning, the mountain forest serene and quiet. He was seriously injured, and through his hazy consciousness, he saw a figure—Lu Ling'er. Her delicate features bandaged him with deft movements, her tone teasing, "You're so lucky! You managed to survive, even in these deep mountains." This teasing, with her characteristic carefreeness, etched itself deeply into Yun Junrui's memory.

From then on, Lu Ling'er detoxified him, healed his wounds, and accompanied him step by step in his search for lost memories and his origins. The dream suddenly switched to the scene of the two of them custom-making their wedding gowns. Lu Ling'er's words from that time still stung his heart like a sharp knife: "Yi Chen, if you don't like me, you don't have to marry me to repay me. If you're worried about the cost of your treatment, there's no need to do so."

At that moment, Yun Junrui's heart felt as if it were being squeezed. He remembered holding Lu Ling'er's hand, his tone more urgent than ever before: "I am truly marrying into your family, and I truly love you. It's not for any other reason." Lu Ling'er smiled in his dream, but the smile gradually faded, as if torn apart by some force, replaced by fragments of memories from a previous life.

In his previous life, he was the Crown Prince, standing on the high platform of the Imperial Palace, looking down at Lu Ling'er, who had been escorted here. She held a jade pendant and claimed to be his betrothed, but he only saw a humble country girl. Bai Mengyao stood beside him, smiling sweetly, but whispered in a soft, weak voice, "Your Highness, she is the woman who stole my jade pendant. The Prince of Zhennan has long since confirmed that I am your betrothed."

Yun Junrui believed Bai Mengyao's words and without hesitation ordered the jade pendant to be retrieved and Lu Ling'er expelled from the capital. At Bai Mengyao's instigation, he even had the Nanyang prefect convicted and sentenced to death. A memory flashed through his mind like a sharp blade: in front of the vegetable market, Lu Ling'er was led to the execution platform under the indifferent gaze of the crowd. She did not argue, but simply looked at Yun Junrui quietly, her eyes filled with despair, yet also with relief.

"Why? I don't want to wake up..." Yun Junrui murmured, and Lu Ling'er's figure reappeared in his dream. Her smile was bright, yet seemed unreachable. He wanted to grasp her, but his hand passed through ethereal air. He knew this was his punishment—losing her once was painful enough, and now losing her again, he would rather sink into this endless dream.

Outside, the sense of urgency in reality is growing.

The young genius doctor, Luo Qi, hurried over, led by Mo Yan. After examining Yun Junrui, he shook his head solemnly, "Uncle, Aunt, Yun Junrui is fine, and the fever-reducing medicine is working. But his soul is trapped in a nightmare, a deep obsession. Only he can break free of it; no external force can help."

Gu Yazhu looked pale and asked anxiously, "Is there any way to wake him up? He has been unconscious for so long!"

Rocky hesitated for a moment and sighed, "The nightmare comes from a knot in his heart. If he insists on staying in the dream, the only thing we can do is wait. If we force him to wake up, it will only damage his soul, and he may never wake up again."

Yun Xiaoling stood aside in silence, his gaze complex. He whispered, "The entanglement between dreams and reality is his destiny and his test. Luo Qi, you said the nightmare is his own obsession. Is it possible that Lu Ling'er is the key to the nightmare?"

Rocky was slightly startled, as if he realized something, and said in a low voice: "Maybe so. But Lu Linger..." He stopped speaking here, and everyone fell silent.

Inside the palace, time seemed to stand still. Yun Junrui lay on his bed, his brow furrowed, as if he was desperately fighting against the illusions in his dream. And in his dream, he finally saw the figure of Master Jingkong. The master's voice was low and distant: "Yun Junrui, your obsession is too deep. You rekindled your past relationship in this life, but your feelings were misplaced. How will you repay her life that you owe her?"

Yun Junrui knelt on the ground in agony and whispered, "If I can never see her again when I wake up, then I would rather sleep here and never wake up." However, Master Jingkong's shadow gradually faded away, leaving only his last words: "If you don't wake up, you are destined to lose her truth forever."

In the intersection of dreams and reality, everything seems to be heading towards an unknown turning point in fate.
