Mei-Li Tan, a beautiful and headstrong heiress, defies societal norms to pursue a romance with Ah-Gak Lim, a brilliant but impoverished medical student. Their forbidden love ignites a chain reaction of events that challenge the foundations of both families.

The Shadow of History

A Journey of Self-Discovery
