After a strange sequence of events, Fai, Chang and Li Na meet in a traditional teahouse. Quickly they come realise their friendship, and later on, their very survival is in the hands of fate… and they must do as it instructs, through the medium of a fat Monk called Fahai. Having woken up in the teahouse just a few hours before, the three also come to understand they are no longer in the China they know, but a strange parallel world still being ruled by the ancient Dynasties... and this is where the story really begins.
