“Echoes of the Self” is a historical romance drama directed by Wang Hui, starring Sebrina Chen [Wu Xin: The Monster Killer, Follow Your Heart, Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red-Moon Pact] and Quan Yilun [Moonlight Mystique, Youthful Glory]. This drama tells the story of Zhou Ruoxi (played by Chen Yao), who, driven by ambition, abandons her love for Prince Yan, Li Yan (played by Quan Yilun), and schemes her way into marrying the crown prince. Just as she is about to wield ultimate power, she is captured in the palace by Li Yan under the charge of “purging the emperor’s court and executing the demon empress.” It turns out Li Yan’s actions were a desperate attempt to save her. He planned to flee with her and start anew. However, the two fall into the emperor’s trap and die beneath the imperial walls. In her final moments, Zhou Ruoxi realizes the error of her ways and vows that if given another life, she would never make the same mistakes. Miraculously, the story resets to the very beginning. This time, Zhou Ruoxi is determined to set things right and protect Li Yan, only to find that her greatest rival... is her former self from three years ago.
