My Deepest Dream Episode 15 Recap
> My Deepest Dream Recap
Tan Jiao and Chen Ruying found themselves bound once more. Tan Jiao confronted a weeping Chen Ruying, who confessed she hadn't anticipated the situation escalating to this point, claiming her initial involvement was just a prank. Tan Jiao chastised her, pointing out their lives were now at stake, and demanded the truth about Wu Miao.
Chen Ruying revealed that an unknown person had sent a threatening photo of a captive Wu Miao to both her and Wu Yu, with a message demanding they marry to ensure Wu Miao's safety. Chen Ruying then explained how their driver, Xu Baotian, had manipulated her. After seeing Wu Yu and Tan Jiao together, Chen Ruying was distraught. Xu Baotian approached her, feigning sympathy, calling Tan Jiao a "jerk" and "naive," and promising to help her get revenge.
He proposed a plan to kidnap Tan Jiao and frame her for the crime, thereby making Wu Yu despise Tan Jiao and securing the wedding. As Chen Ruying recounted this, Tan Jiao warned her that Xu Baotian was merely using her, having harbored dark intentions for a long time despite working for her family for over a decade.
Tan Jiao again pressed Chen Ruying about who sent the Wu Miao photo, but Chen Ruying claimed ignorance, stating she had planned to investigate after her wedding. Tan Jiao accused Chen Ruying of selfishness, prioritizing her love for Wu Yu over Wu Miao’s safety. Despite this, Tan Jiao comforted a distraught Chen Ruying, assuring her that Wu Yu would surely find them. Xu Baotian then arrived, preparing to inject them with potassium cyanide.
He revealed his true intentions, stating he planned to burn the place down with them inside after receiving the ransom, summarily silencing them. Tan Jiao tried to reason with him, but Xu Baotian presented the poison as a merciful, less painful death than burning. Attempting to stall for time, Tan Jiao inquired if his original plan was to carry out the attack during Wu Yu and Chen Ruying's wedding and frame Su Wan.
Xu Baotian was surprised by her accurate guess. He confirmed his intention to set fire to the wedding venue and then plant potassium cyanide at Su Wan's house, hoping to use the Jinghai serial killer as a scapegoat. Chen Ruying confronted Xu Baotian, questioning his betrayal given her parents' kindness.
Xu Baotian scoffed, recounting how he had worked for the Chen family for over a decade, only for Chen Ruying's mother to refuse him a million yuan to cover his gambling debts and his own mother's medical expenses, claiming it was for his "own good." As he prepared to attack Tan Jiao first, Wu Yu burst in. Chen Ruying, surprised, asked how he found them.
Wu Yu explained he deduced that only someone with free access to the Chen residence could have planted the cameras, and since Professor Chen and Madam Feng were always under police escort, Xu Baotian was the only suspect. He had followed him to the warehouse. Simultaneously, Wu Yu was on a phone call with the police, relaying Xu Baotian's location. Xu Baotian mocked Wu Yu for arriving alone, but Wu Yu retorted, "Who says I came alone?"
Wu Yu attacked Xu Baotian, knocking him unconscious, and quickly untied Tan Jiao, urging her to free Chen Ruying and escape. However, Xu Baotian regained consciousness and chased them. Tan Jiao urged Chen Ruying to run and stayed to help Wu Yu. During the struggle, Wu Yu was stabbed. Wu Yu, in a desperate move, smashed the vial of potassium cyanide, warning Xu Baotian that the resulting hydrogen cyanide gas would be lethal within minutes.
Terrified by Wu Yu's detailed description of the symptoms, Xu Baotian panicked and fled. Wu Yu then admitted to Tan Jiao that he had bluffed; the amount of gas was not fatal, but they were still in danger. He led her to a dilapidated shed. Inside the shed, Tan Jiao tended to Wu Yu's wound. While searching for supplies, she discovered a first aid kit containing a mysterious note.
Dated January 24, 2022, the note warned her that "Brother Xu will trap you in a warehouse" and advised her to use the medicine in the box. Tan Jiao recognized the handwriting as identical to a previous note she had received in Dali. She then found a satellite phone in the kit, explaining to Wu Yu that it could transmit their location without a network signal.
Moments later, a distress signal from their location, the eastern warehouse, was detected by the police, who dispatched a rescue team. However, Xu Baotian returned and set their hiding place on fire. Inside, Tan Jiao cried out for help. Chen Ruying, who had already been rescued by the police, frantically informed them that Wu Yu and Tan Jiao were still inside the burning warehouse area. As Wu Yu and Tan Jiao were rushed to the hospital, Wu Yu fell unconscious.
Tan Jiao anxiously watched her watch, aware that only three minutes remained before their next time jump. As Wu Yu's vital signs began to fade, Tan Jiao desperately pleaded with the doctors not to give up, reminding Wu Yu of his promises. She tearfully confessed her love for him, kissing his lips and saying, "Wu Yu, I love you." In that instant, time warped, and Tan Jiao found herself washed ashore on a beach.
Nearby, she discovered an unconscious Wu Yu. She performed CPR, and to her relief, Wu Yu opened his eyes. Overjoyed, Tan Jiao checked him for injuries. Wu Yu confirmed he was unharmed in this new timeline, and she embraced him tightly. They then set out to find the others, locating Chen Ruying and several survivors near a rocky outcrop. They learned that Wu Miao and Professor Chen had been safely rescued by a passing cruise ship.
The group, however, found their boat's engine and communication equipment were damaged, leaving them stranded on the small island with no phone signal. Chen Ruying panicked, asking if they were destined to die there, but was quickly silenced.
