Sa Ngalan ng Pag-ibig, 1880

Isang pamaypay. Isang pangalan. Isang pag-ibig na hindi pa tapos.

Yssa Solene Ortega, a 21-year-old History major, never expected her thesis to lead her into the heart of 19th-century Manila. But when she inherits an antique pamaypay embroidered with Ysmina, 1880, everything begins to shift. Archival folders open on their own. Old photographs seem to breathe. And one night, the pamaypay flutters - pulling her into a time she doesn't understand.

She wakes up in a bahay na bato, surrounded by capiz windows, embroidered sayá, and the scent of sampaguita. Everyone calls her Ysmina. But she doesn't know how to act like her. She stumbles through prayers she never memorized, customs she never learned, and a life that feels borrowed.

In a world ruled by silence and reputation, Yssa must navigate a family with buried truths, a society that expects obedience, and an estranghero whose gaze feels both unfamiliar and devastatingly familiar. He speaks to her like he's known her forever - and loves her still, even if she's forgotten.

"Kung ako'y hindi mo na makilala, sana'y mahalin mo pa rin ako."

But the deeper she falls into Ysmina's life, the harder it becomes to remember her own. Is she rewriting history? Or has she always belonged to it?

At sa gitna ng lahat, isang tanong ang hindi niya matakasan:
Magkakagusto ba siya sa isang lalaking higit isang daang taon ang tanda sa kanya?

Because some stories aren't just remembered.
They're relived.
