    He was appointed a useless prince on the frontier, only to be scared to death by bandits at the start. The protagonist, a powerful transmigrator, crushed the bandits' lustful desires with a single groin strike, confiscating everything and laying the foundation for his rise to wealth. Thus began his carefree life of farming, raising troops, conquering the world, and casually pursuing beautiful women. There's no system involved; the protagonist possesses some medical skills and enjoys reading illustrated manuals. The story is fast-paced, humorous, and perfect for casual reading. The characters are intelligent and engaging. Reading it is like a gentle spring breeze, a soothing balm, subtly relieving the day's fatigue!
