[The Legend of Shen Li fanfic. The characters belong to the author; any OOC is on me. Original female lead, no CP, and the main pairing stays together.
Other side pairings: Liu Yu × Feng Lai, Mo Fang × original protagonist (or Lord Furong, as the readers decide), Qing Ye × Xiao He (they won't miss each other), Jin Niangzi × Mu Zichun (Tian Ji reincarnated, a completely self-indulgent headcanon)]
In the protagonist's own words: My name is Creation, but I prefer it when you call me Luo Mian. I have existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, and govern everything in the world. I also love traveling through it. The Heavenly Dao here was born from the chaos of heaven and earth, and I gradually handed over my authority over the world. Since it had only recently come into being, it was still quite weak, so I often looked after it out of concern. Before long, the Heavenly Dao created a number of deities to remove every obstacle in its path. I, too, was a thorn in its side, and it tried to control me. I sensed something was wrong and realized it feared me. But I had watched it grow up, so before it could make a move, I went to it and struck a deal. I would seal away most of my power and help it look after the newly created deities, while it would let me travel freely throughout the world. We would leave each other alone, but if it ever acted unjustly or immorally, I would have the right to intervene…
