The General is devastated when his country is invaded and forced to surrender to enemy forces. Even more so, when he is threatened to work under the Conqueror lest he send his people to perish.

Only for the Conqueror to be baffled to find out that having witnessed his mute brother die in his arms due to a mutiny caused by an unruly eunuch beforehand, the General has undertaken a vow of silence.

Under the condition that he only take a wife should she prove she can fight and stand besides him, he promises to fight endless battles for this almighty dictator. 
The Conqueror laughs at this request, however needing capable generals, he proceeds to let the deaf general (his ear damaged during a blast) take command.

Everything changes when a neighboring tribe allies with the Conqueror, and the chieftain's daughter is introduced in all her war-torn glory.

Instantly, the Conqueror's brother, the Sixteenth prince is smitten, and the General's eyes reveal nothing. She comes to admire the war-weary General's now mature-attitude towards war while the Conqueror proposes the Sixteenth have a marriage with a Japanese shogun's daughter, a recent widow whose husband was killed by pirates.

However, the Shogun's Daughter is ambushed by pirates, and as she fights her way out, she catches the Sixteenth Prince's attention. The reluctant pair are caught in a misunderstanding when she judges the Sixteenth to be sent as a bodyguard to escort her. Meanwhile, the General allows the Chieftain's daughter to be in his presence. Onlookers observe that maybe...his cold presence is starting to warm up.

Unfortunately, matters at the court, Japanese Pirates, and other Oriental kingdoms threaten the safety of the burgeoning kingdom.

It is said Quien mucho abarca, poco aprieta. (Who takes in/embraces a lot/much, few/little is squeezed.) 

What can a deaf General and his constituents do in the face of these insurmountable odds?

2.1 | Alice ✔ by PhantomBlacke

What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world.

But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.

The Blind Lover by Lyahhh_kaii

Synopsis Qin Yu had lost both her parents when she was young and was all alone. Since then, she lived with her father's comrade-in-arms. Due to the huge inheritance that her father had left behind, her foster mother had attempted to murder her repeatedly. To survive, she could only pretend to be a mentally disabled child. It wasn't easy for her to reach adulthood, yet her foster mom wanted to marry her off to a powerful and influential family. She heard that her fiancé was blind and had a violent personality. However, no matter how ruthless he was, was he as ruthless as her foster mom? In order to escape from this terrifying family, she decisively agreed to marry that person in her sister's place. Soon, news of a fool marrying a blind man spread like wildfire. Their marriage had become the hottest laughing stock locally. However, after she married him, she realized that everything was not what the rumors said. Her husband was not blind at all, and he was not cruel. He was gentle and refined, and he treated her like a treasure. And she wasn't mentally deranged. She'd only pretended to be a fool to flee from her foster mom's attempted murders. What surprised her, even more, was that she had known her husband for a long time. A long time ago, they had been best friends online. It was no wonder that her husband was as cold as ice to all women, lying that he was blind and unapproachable. But in front of her, he was as gentle as a lamb and did not hide anything.

The Masked General by Vera-A7

Avira Fernsby had everything she wanted, a family, a home, even a handsome but annoying enemy. Except one day her family becomes the enemy, some are dead, her home is far away, her enemy becomes her friend, and her life becomes a little strange. Her original home, the kingdom of Harwen's greatest enemy is the kingdom, Wayollen. When there is nowhere else to go, she begrudgingly turns to Hiroshi, Wayollen's crown prince. Can she save her kingdom, or will she be consumed in its flames? There is not a specific year this story is set in, and I will leave some of those details up to the reader's imaginations. However, I can tell you this exists in a time before cars. It is in a world of letters, ballgowns, kids playing in wheat fields, and kingdoms and thrones. While there are many pleasant things filled up in this world, it also holds mysteries, wars, and some crazy experiences for our characters. Dedicated to RB, the one who corrected all my misplaced commas in school, and one whom I'm sure will never read this... it's a secret. Miss you lots!
