   The female protagonist was already bound to a medical system before transmigrating. She was an intern who died in a car accident. After transmigrating, she became a military doctor and continuously treated patients to accumulate points. Later, she discovered that the system could transform into an emperor system, so she tricked the system into changing it to an emperor system, gradually conquering territory and building infrastructure. The female protagonist has high emotional and intellectual intelligence, no romantic partner, and a strong ambition. She even helps women become officials. I really love this novel, but the author often misses updates. The fastest update is once every three days, and it's common for it to be half a month. The unstable update schedule deducts one star. If you're planning to read this, I suggest you finish it first. With the author's update speed, it feels like there's a high chance the story won't be completed.

    Reader note

    My new book is a 500,000-word infrastructure building novel. What? The enemy country isn't going to fight anymore? No way. We have to fight, otherwise the prisoners there will be used to build roads, and the real estate companies will be short-staffed. What? No money? Go fight Yamete Country. Keep the women for the rest of the "Three Alls" policy. The nationwide chain of foot massage parlors and entertainment companies are short-staffed? Go to South Korea. Those women are born for this. Relaxing and stress-relieving. No AI, purely handwritten, so there might be some typos. Please forgive me, enjoy!
