Huo Zhao arrives in the Western Han Dynasty and lives in Pingyang, Marquis of Pingyang’s fief, in Hedong Commandery.

His father has a modest but steady official position. His mother is gentle yet strong-willed and runs the household well. His older brother is meticulous, dependable, and dignified, already carrying himself like the pillar of the family despite his young age.

Their family is a picture of parental love, filial children, and harmonious siblings, an ordinary, happy household by the standards of the era.

Then, one year, Huo Qubing, the rising star of the Han military, is appointed General of Swift Cavalry by the emperor and sent to attack the Xiongnu. Passing through Pingyang, he is welcomed by the governor of Hedong and hosted at the post station.

The young general, putting aside old grievances, kneels before Huo Zhao’s father. “Qubing did not know before that you were my father. I was unable to serve you at your side. I hope you can forgive me.”

Huo Zhao: ???

Huo Zhao stared in shock at his equally bewildered father, his pupils trembling!

Huo Qubing!!!

- Important notes -

1. The protagonist shines on his own and has no romantic pairing. This is a brainless, lighthearted story, and the protagonist’s golden finger is enormously powerful.

2. An alternate setting with a chaotic plot that throws in a bit of everything. Character ages and biographies have been adjusted.

3. Exclusively published on Jinjiang Literature City. The author is a chronic reviser and accepts no responsibility for pirated versions on other platforms.

4. Book of Han, “Biography of Huo Guang”: “Later, he joined General of Swift Cavalry in attacking the Xiongnu. Their route passed through Hedong. The governor of Hedong welcomed them outside the city, riding ahead with bow and arrows. When they reached the post station at Pingyang, the general sent an officer to receive Huo Zhongru. Zhongru hurried in to pay his respects. The general returned the greeting, then knelt and said, ‘Qubing did not know before that he was your son.’ Zhongru helped him up and bowed, saying, ‘This old servant owes his life to the general. It is Heaven’s doing.’ Qubing bought a great deal of land, houses, and servants for Zhongru before leaving.”

The Years I Served as Qin Shi Huang’s Right-Hand Man, by Zuijiu Huajian

*

When Jiang Yan set out on his own, his master repeatedly warned him never to work for the old Qin family. Going back several generations, everyone who had joined them had met a bad end.

The people who served Duke Xiao were torn apart by chariots. Those who served King Huiwen and King Wulie were driven out of Qin. The one who served King Zhuangxiang killed himself. The people who served the First Emperor were sliced in half at the waist...

Being the second-in-command in Qin was a cursed job. Better to go hungry than work for that family.

He had readily agreed at the time. The First Emperor was already dead, and there was no one left in the old Qin family. His master needn’t worry; he would surely find a wise lord to serve.

Heroes emerge in troubled times. It was up to people like them to clear the clouds and restore peace to the land.

However, after carefully choosing a spot with excellent feng shui to settle down and farm, he secretly plotted to make a name for himself and waited for a worthy lord to find him. Instead, the First Emperor, who was already dead, showed up.

After death, the First Emperor didn’t ascend to immortality. He lingered in the mortal world and stayed by Jiang Yan’s side, inseparable, loving each other and keeping each other company.

Jiang Yan, panicking: “Master, Master, is it still too late for me to run?”

The ghost of the First Emperor: “Stare, ”

Theme: United in friendship, we can accomplish anything.
