"What if your next vlog takes you 500 years into the past?"
Samantha Reyes, a sarcastic Gen Z vlogger, suddenly wakes up in the body of Dayang Mayumi, the daughter of a Datu in pre-colonial Philippines.
Instead of beaches and fiestas, she's now dealing with:
⚔️ tribal wars,
🔥 arranged marriage politics,
👩🦱 a babaylan who thinks she's possessed,
✨ and a prophecy declaring her the "Diwata" who will change history.
With zero survival skills (and a whole lot of sarcasm), Sam must navigate ancient customs, fight off pirates with a walis tingting, and clash with the stoic warrior Lakan Dumagsa-who might just be her greatest enemy... or her forbidden love.
Can a modern girl survive a world without WiFi, AC, and bubble tea?
Or will she rewrite history with her own version of Girl Power?
🌺 A story of laughter, love, and legacy set in the rich world of pre-colonial Philippines.

Apa jadinya bila cinta harus melintasi tujuh masa untuk bisa bertahan? Raden Panji dan Dewi Sekartaji adalah dua jiwa yang dipertemukan lewat perjodohan kerajaan. Namun, sebelum janji suci mereka terikat, Dewi Sekartaji diracun oleh musuh Kerajaan Jenggala hingga tubuhnya membeku - hidup tapi tidak sepenuhnya bernyawa.
