    A useless prince was appointed as a prince in a poor border county, only to be scared to death by bandits right from the start. The protagonist, a powerful being, transmigrates into this world, using a single palace skill to shatter the bandits' lustful courage, confiscating everything and laying the foundation for his rise to wealth. From then on, he embarks on a carefree life of farming, raising troops, conquering the world, and casually pursuing beautiful women. There's no system; the protagonist possesses some medical skills and occasionally consults illustrated medical manuals. The story is fast-paced, lighthearted, and humorous. Reading it is like a gentle spring breeze, a soothing balm, subtly relieving the day's fatigue.
