Zhao Yunlan jerks back to the waking world gasping and screaming and drowning in the anguish that comes with being lit on eternal consuming fire. The unmistakable rich copper taste of blood fills his mouth and he opens tear-filled bloodshot eyes that he was sure melted a long time ago with the rest of his physical body. He sees faces crowding around him in varying degrees of worry, but the pain blinds him from putting names to the faces. His throat feels raw, as if he'd been screaming for centuries and realizes on the next breath that he's been screaming a name. Shen Wei's name. >>for the prompt: what if episode 37 to 40 was just a really strong and detailed dream or premonition that Zhao Yunlan and things actually turned out okay like how it happened in the premonitions he had of Zhu Hong, Changcheng and Chu and Zhao Xinci?
