    No romantic pairing, no male lead with any ambiguous relationships, and absolutely no lovey-dovey scenes – that's amazing! 👍🏻 The novel's content isn't entirely what the title suggests, just the first half. The focus is on the female lead's awesomeness and intelligence, unlike other novels where the female lead's children become the central focus for most of the story… (The description of how amazing two- or three-year-olds are is ridiculous.) Genre: Infrastructure building, farming, military training… Building a small village from scratch into a… well, you'll have to read it to find out.
