- I wrote this while waiting for it to pass review. I originally locked the whole thing, but then thought about it and unlocked it. It's pretty entertaining to look back on once in a while.

- It's extremely sloppy and made up as I went. Please don't try to find any logic in these ten thousand words.

- I might lock it again someday.

The water conservancy model System has a function for building hydraulic models, simulating facility data in real time, and adopting workable plans.

It also has a vast database containing information on modern dams, canals, and water conservancy facilities for reference.

And it even has modern high-tech tools like computers. In three seconds, it can instantly calculate any figure with up to ten digits!

The Great Liang Empire is plagued by floods and droughts. Whenever disaster strikes, suffering spreads far and wide.

Water conservancy engineer Jiang Wan transmigrates into the body of a young, orphaned female engineer in Great Liang. She has no one to rely on and is timid by nature. Her colleagues bully her, and after she catches a corrupt coworker lining his own pockets, her position is suddenly in jeopardy.

But Jiang Wan stays calm. With the help of her incredible water conservancy model System, she sets out to make her mark in the ancient world.

First, she builds levees and creates flood barriers!

She earns a good reputation by fighting floods, and takes the opportunity to investigate a shoddy flood-control project built by her corrupt colleague, sending him to prison.

Next, she creates modern hydrological stations, improves dams, and compiles a guide to contemporary flood control!

Floods and droughts are no match for her. Jiang Wan's career flourishes, and she rises through the ranks. Everyone says Official Jiang can predict events like a god.

The villains even try to send her to a drought-stricken wasteland on the frontier, hoping to make her suffer.

But Jiang Wan turns the tables, introducing a modern water-storage and irrigation system that recycles water resources in an endless cycle!

Many people in the Ministry of Works still refuse to accept her, until natural disasters strike and extreme weather hits the entire nation. The slightest mistake could bring severe drought or flooding to any region.

Jiang Wan requests an appointment and sets out to overhaul water conservancy technology across the country.

Sponge dams, mobile flood barriers, mobile flood walls...

Now the people in the Ministry of Works are in tears, utterly won over by Jiang Wan's abilities. "Anyone who dares say another bad word about Official Jiang will have to answer to me!!!"

In the end, Jiang Wan improves the climate throughout the nation. Step by step, she rises from a small county town to become the first Minister of Works, her name celebrated for generations.
