Mary loi "Yves" Ricalde is a rising star in the modern art world, known for her deep love of oil paints and antique treasures. Unlike her peers, who chase digital trends and NFT canvases, Maloi spends her days haunting vintage shops and estate sales, seeking inspiration from forgotten eras. One rainy afternoon, tucked in the corner of a dusty old curiosity shop, she finds a haunting portrait of a young girl-eighteen, dressed in vintage lace, eyes filled with sorrow. She feels an inexplicable pull.
The old shopkeeper, eyes clouded with memory, tells her the girl's name: Y/N Edevane, a princess from the late 1800s who took her own life just days before her arranged marriage. Rumors whispered of her forbidden love for another girl-a scandal impossible to bear in her time. Consumed by guilt, denial, and the fear of disgracing her family, she chose to disappear... permanently.
As Maloi gazes deeper into the painting, a strange glow flickers from its frame. A shadow appears behind her-Irene, a fallen angel bound to the shop and time itself. Irene offers Maloi a dangerous choice: step through a magical portal into the year 1887, just weeks before Y/N's death, and try to change her fate.
Maloi, moved by the princess's silent pain and driven by the what-ifs of history, accepts.
In a world of corsets, etiquette, and forbidden glances, Maloi must convince Y/N that loving another girl isn't a curse-it's a right. But as she tries to save the girl from her tragic end, something unexpected happens: Maloi herself begins to fall in love with her.
Now Maloi faces a heart-wrenching choice-can she pull Y/N into the future, away from a world that doesn't accept her? Or will time itself punish them for changing what was once meant to be?
