Failed Managers

In an empire where magic, sword energy and alchemy coexist, what is truly scarce is not power, but someone willing to take responsibility for failure. Xiao Jingan, the ninth prince of the empire, was judged as "low risk" from the beginning. He had no inheritance rights and was assigned to work in the library for a long time. All he had to proofread were magical fragments and records of alchemical accidents. On the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, he was granted permission to travel to the border town, and a fiancée he had never met before - which meant that he had been politely asked to leave the center of power. There are no heroes in the border town, only a system that keeps failing. Magic is unstable, swordsmanship suffers high damage, alchemy has frequent accidents, and all failures are ultimately covered up by "force majeure". Xiao Jingan discovered that many disasters were not inevitable, so he began to use a special alchemical method to create items that were not powerful but extremely stable, and established a chamber of commerce to make risks predictable and manageable. As the border towns came to rely on him, the Empire learned to continue to push its problems onto him. Until the female swordsman from a magic family appeared and reminded him—— When you get used to taking on everything, the world will never change.
