My Brother Is Huo Qubing

When she wakes up, Huo Zhining has transmigrated into the body of a seven-year-old girl in Pingyang County during the Western Han dynasty.

Her family is dirt poor. Her father is a minor ninth-rank official, her mother is gentle and capable, and her twelve-year-old eldest brother, Huo Guang, is already like a little adult. Life is tight, but manageable.

Until one day, a young general passes through Pingyang and kneels before her father at a banquet, calling him "Father."

Huo Zhining: ...The Huo Qubing who conquered the Xiongnu and became a legendary general is my brother?!

From then on, her life takes a sudden turn:

Her father gets promoted, they move to the commandery seat, her second brother Huo Guang is summoned to the palace, and her legendary eldest brother personally brings her to Chang'an.

On her first day in the Champion Marquis's residence, Huo Zhining vows: This life, she'll hold tight to this golden opportunity and lie flat like a lazy fish!

And yet...

Her eldest brother is being plotted against at court, her second brother is treading carefully in the palace, and she just can't sit by and watch. She rolls up her sleeves and starts learning medicine, managing accounts, keeping track of political connections, and acting as a strategist for their little circle...

Wait, wasn't she here to lie flat?

Years later, everyone in Chang'an knows that the Champion Marquis's residence has a "Second Master Huo," famed for her excellent medical skills and charity toward the poor.

As for Huo Zhining, she stays in her courtyard beneath the old locust tree, which she adorns with red ribbons every year, watching the people she loves most live in peace, year after year.

This is the life she wanted most after transmigrating across a thousand years.

No romance, just family affection. Everyday life, unfolding at an unhurried pace.

A legendary warrior of a big brother, a dependable second brother, gentle parents, and close friends: no one is left out.
