Long ago in a faraway land, the Conqueror's sister is married off to a nefarious ruler called the Oriental Masked King.

Despite ruling his land with an iron fist, rumors still spread that all of his former concubines were led to a grisly fate. Determined nevertheless to honor her country and make this alliance work, the young Princess Consort soon finds herself struggling to adjust to a new foreign court where the Empress Dowager, and the Fourth Prince's concubine, the Royal Concubine, conspire to make her life more miserable than it already is.

One upside to this situation seems to be that the Fourth Prince's caring demeanor along with companionship from the Kooky Princess, the Fourth Prince's sister, make her stay in the oriental palace tolerable at least.

That is...until she catches the eye of a certain Masked King. 


Spinoff to General's Cause, takes place during/after it. Standalone work.
Covers what happens between the Conqueror's sister and the Oriental Masked King mentioned in the other story.

As the commander of his realm's forces, Prince Cheng encounters the bold and determined Jiao when she inadvertently crosses into his territory, fleeing the relentless Cui Army. Their first meeting sets the stage for a tumultuous relationship, marked by enmity and the inexorable pull of destiny. Despite their initial animosity, fate consistently draws them back together, weaving a complex tapestry of emotions. As their hearts resist, the threads of hatred slowly unravel, giving way to a love neither could have foreseen. However, the serenity of their union is shattered on their wedding day when Cheng is cruelly attacked and held hostage, leaving whispers of his demise to spread across the desert winds. Months later, a miraculous return shakes the sands of uncertainty. Cheng reemerges, but the shadows of the past have erased his memory, leaving him a stranger to his once-beloved Jiao. Now, she faces the daunting task of reconstructing the fragments of their shared history, determined to rekindle the flame of their love. In the arid expanse of their intertwined destinies, Jiao must navigate the complexities of a love reborn, as she strives to unlock the secrets hidden within Cheng's lost memories. Will their love stand the test of forgotten trials, or will the desert winds erase the traces of their shared past forever?

You Can Lean On Me by I-am-my-demons

Aoki Hikaru has looked up to Oikawa Tooru and his friend Iwaizumi Hajime since the pair saved Hikaru from some bullies in middle school. Soon, it turned into a liking for the charismatic setter- but he always only had eyes for his Iwa-chan. What happens when Tooru confesses to Hajime and is rejected? (Sorry, IwaOi shippers, this is angst) Oikawa x gender neutral OC I'm not great at writing so I'm sorry if the POVs switching from 1st person (Hikaru) to 3rd person (Tooru) is jarring. Haikyuu!! does not belong to me, I just came up with this story. *completed on 01/12/24* word count 15.6k
