War of the Gods

Tian Yu believed she had died in her previous life because she had given up her own existence. She could not afford to make the same mistake again.

In the past, she had been bullied because she was weak, unable to tell right from wrong because she was foolish, and unable to protect her companions because she was timid. So she would claim greater status, wisdom, and power.

That was why she accepted becoming one of the three great figures of the Tian family, and accepted the power and responsibility of an Original Creator. As the embodiment of the rules, she would make every choice for the sake of keeping the Heavenly Dao running as it should.

But why, now that she possessed supreme authority, transcendent power, and the courage to fear nothing, was she becoming less and less like herself?

With no home to return to, no ties to hold her back, and even her sense of self growing indistinct, neither twisted family bonds nor dangerous love could be her choice anymore.

All she could do was carry out the task at hand: fulfill her role as the administrator of the East and the rules of the Stone Forest, restore this young man's fate to normal, and ensure he died on schedule.

The main plot follows her changing fate and her struggle for power against the gods. The underlying story follows the heroine's growth and transformation.

Content notes: No romance, single female protagonist. The heroine focuses on her career; supporting characters have one-sided crushes on her. Serious political intrigue mixed with comedy. Slow burn, read with care.

Theme: See through fate amid schemes and political maneuvering, uphold one's duty in the face of nothingness, and become the one truly in control.
