During a mission involving ancient Earth, Ying Mang, an interstellar general, encountered a cosmic wormhole.
When she woke, she had transmigrated to ancient times and become the daughter of a disgraced official, sent into exile.
The storage ring she was supposed to send back to the Empire, containing countless records and resources from ancient Earth, had transmigrated with her as well.
On her tenth day in the ancient world, Ying Mang had finally adjusted enough to prepare to take down the arrogant guards who had been tormenting her, when she suddenly became bound to a System that claimed it could help her become emperor.
[Ding! Host, would you like to draw a card and recruit a retainer?]
Thinking that having a lackey around to handle odd jobs would be nice, Ying Mang drew a card.
Then
She drew a noble boy who looked as if he couldn't lift a hand or carry anything, a total weakling...
Ying Mang: ? Which one of us is the boss here? Who's going to protect whom?
Zhang Liang: ...Sorry I'm not as strong as you, I guess.

As the struggle for supremacy began, the various lords still maintained a thin veneer of propriety. They humbly insisted that they were subjects of the Son of Heaven, and had absolutely no intention of "rebelling and changing dynasties."
Only Ying Mang was different. She bluntly declared, "I'm going to be emperor," and arrogantly proclaimed herself one.
"We need to teach her a lesson."
The lords planned to gang up on this loudmouth who didn't know how to keep a low profile, teach Ying Mang not to be so brazen, and carve up her territory while they were at it.
Looking at the spineless lords who had brought their troops to attack her, Ying Mang sat behind the fortified walls with a cold smile, ready to roll up her sleeves and show those cowards who was going to teach whom a lesson.
"My lord, let it go. Please, my lord."
At her strategists' urging, Ying Mang opened a ten-pull and drew a few generals to crush the spineless lords who had come to attack her
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've drawn the God of War, Han Xin!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've drawn the Heroic Warlord, Cao Cao!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've drawn the God of Military Strategy, Li Jing!]
The other lords: ??? Why does she get to use cheats?!
But Ying Mang didn't just crush them with military force. She also launched a psychological attack
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've drawn the Poisonous Strategist, Jia Xu!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've drawn the Unifier of the Realm, Liu Bowen!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've drawn Mi Heng, the Three Kingdoms' Number One Insult Comic!]
Ever since she acquired a priceless gem of a retainer who knew how to curse, Ying Mang had people send the other lords one scathing proclamation after another, each with entirely different wording, viciously mocking them and cursing their ancestors eighteen generations back. The lords themselves were called every name under the sun.
The other lords, so furious they were spitting blood: H-help, how are we supposed to fight for the realm now?
P.S. The heroine is the strongest, a goofy and invincible force of nature.
