Lila Santos-Chen, a modern-day half-Filipino, half-Chinese college student, stumbles upon an intricately designed ancient hairpin in her grandmother's collection. The moment she pins it in her hair, she is whisked away to the Ming Dynasty during the height of political intrigue and military unrest. Struggling to adapt to the customs, language nuances, and strict social hierarchies, Lila must navigate palace politics, local warlords, and alliances while keeping her modern sensibilities intact. Along the way, she makes friends, inadvertently causes comedic chaos with her "modern habits," and discovers her unique skills can influence the political landscape.
