Xu Zitang, daughter of the Military Governor of Xihuai, is forced to marry the Crown Prince of the Central Plains, a man she has never met, in order to keep peace on Xihuai's borders.
Unwilling to marry far from home or entrust the rest of her life to a stranger she has never seen, she leaves home in a fit of anger in the middle of the night and enters the Great Desolate Mountains near the border.
Rumors say that a band of exceptionally fierce bandits roams the Great Desolate Mountains near Xihuai. Their camp includes a young man of unknown identity, kept in a carriage. His voice is low and hoarse. He seems frail and coughs all day, yet he is deep as the sea, shrewd, and full of schemes. The bandits keep him captive, but they also fear him.
To cross the Great Desolate Mountains, Xu Zitang disguises herself as a man and infiltrates the bandit gang. One day, when she is in danger, she takes shelter beside the carriage and is saved by the young man inside.
From then on, she begins to think: though he is held captive by a band of bandits, he would rather break than bend. He must be an honorable, kind, and harmless chivalrous hero...
A shrewd, fallen prince x a hot-tempered, sweet, and guileless young woman

Note:
1. This is a serious story with a fast-paced plot. It's somewhat serious, but not that serious.
The story's strengths are its characters and plot twists. I don't want to give away too much in the blurb, so this blurb is pretty useless. The author kneels to apologize and begs you to give it a chance and take a look TAT...
2. The setting is an alternate history with a small amount of low-magic elements. The author is bad at history, so historical corrections are welcome in the comments, but please don't nitpick.
3. This is an entirely original work. Please do not plagiarize or copy it.
4. There is no filler. Every plot point will be resolved. I won't include scenes that seem pointless or inexplicable. Every chapter contains twists, foreshadowing, or clues. Skipping chapters is not recommended, as it will greatly affect your experience.
5. Note the "character growth" tag, and check the content warnings at the end of the first chapter.
Theme: 1. Women can achieve great things too. 2. Refuse to bow to power, and do not betray love. 3. Fight free of constraints and pursue freedom.
I'm here to leave a comment! The male protagonist in these two chapters is a bit awesome, does that mean I seem to be stuck? Reading this chapter in one breath from Chapter 102, I felt like I was slapped in the face. To be honest, when I first saw Cutting Stones, I really thought it was a clichéd and boring plot, but after reading the ending of today's chapter, it really exceeded my expectations! On the surface, Jiang seems to be asking Tangtang to split the boulder, but in fact, what he wants her to cut off is her inner demon. Tangtang's sword represents her mind and attitude, so in the end, even if the stone remains motionless, Tangtang has also tempered her will and courage! Whether it's finding friends or naming the sword, all the foreshadowing has been laid! This idea is really good! I love it so much! The author is so great!
I have decided to gain weight and wait until the exam is on track. I will come back when I have free time. Come on!
The first thing I saw was tetanus... Do you think I can still be saved?
I'll watch it again(;?Д`A chasing is better and harder
Why don't you continue updating?
Oh My God! You are one of the few authors I have seen in Jinjiang who can write a whole chapter about a big drama, and the writing is very exciting. You are so powerful!
In fact, the heroine has fallen in love with the hero at this time?
Suddenly I realized that Mu Guang was so smart that he drank the medicine in the bowl in advance (I was concerned about whether it was wrong hh)
I'm halfway through. Isn't it finished? There are no pitfalls, right?
The heroine has become smarter hahaha! When you meet an assassin, you will know the wretched development.
