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? Historical fiction drama set in Ancient China.
