The Tower of Whispers Episode 1

On a rainy night at the border of Daning, Lu Ying Ying is rescued from the palace by her childhood sweetheart Yan Hui, fleeing the tyrant Jun Che. Well aware of Jun Che's cruelty, Lu Ying Ying begs in panic to turn back, but it is already too late. Jun Che arrives like a ghost and severely injures Yan Hui. To save Yan Hui's life, Lu Ying Ying is forced to endure Jun Che's humiliation and possession inside the carriage. However, Jun Che goes back on his word and insists on killing Yan Hui. In despair, Lu Ying Ying steps in front of the sword and dies a tragic death at Jun Che's hands. After her death, her soul reviews her life at the River of Forgetfulness: from a happy noble lady to having her family destroyed and being taken into the palace, she ultimately becomes the tyrant's plaything. She is even shocked to learn that Jun Che used a dark technique to preserve her corpse. Her overwhelming resentment triggers an abnormal phenomenon, and Lu Ying Ying is reborn on the day of the Lantern Festival at Lu's Mansion before the calamity struck. (Source: iQIYI)
