The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Li Yuan sneered in her heart when she heard this. She knew that Li Jimian was using gentle means to soften her. However, she also knew that she must not give in like this.

However, despite Li Yuan's vigilance and determination, she was taken by Li Jimian to the hot spring hut in the mountains. It was a beautiful and peaceful place, and the hot spring water was so smooth that it seemed to wash away the fatigue and sorrow of the world.

However, for Li Yuan, this place became a cage. She was imprisoned here by Li Jimian and could not escape. She tried to find an opportunity to escape, but was discovered and stopped by Li Jimian every time.

"Yuan'er, why are you so stubborn?" Li Jimian looked at Li Yuan, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation, "You know, I really like you. As long as you are willing, I can give you everything you want."

"Hmph! Don't even think about it!" Li Yuan snorted coldly, "I will never be your plaything! You let me go, or I will never surrender!"

When Li Jimian heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He knew that Li Yuan was a stubborn and strong woman who would never give in easily. However, he also had his patience and strategies.

"Yuan'er, why are you so stubborn?" Li Jimian said slowly, "I know you want freedom, but you should also understand that there is no absolute freedom in this world. As long as you are willing to follow me, I can give you relative freedom and respect."

Li Yuan sneered in her heart when she heard this. She knew that Li Jimian was tempting her with sweet words. However, she also knew that she could not just give in. She had to find a way to escape this cage, return to Gaoling City, and return to her people.

So Li Yuan began a delicate negotiation with Li Jimian. She put forward a condition: if she was not pregnant, then Li Jimian must let her go; if she fell into his hands again, then she would marry him.

This was a delicate condition, and also a wise one. Li Yuan knew that Li Jimian was a powerful tyrant who would never let go of someone who was useful to him. The condition she proposed could both make Li Jimian hesitate and give herself a chance to survive.

"Li Jimian, listen to me." Li Yuan looked directly into Li Jimian's eyes. Her voice was cold and firm. "I have a condition. If I am not pregnant, you must let me go. I will only marry you if I fall into your hands again."

When Li Jimian heard this, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that Li Yuan would propose such a condition. However, he also understood that this was a wise condition. He thought about it, and then nodded slowly.

"Okay, I promise you." Li Jimian said slowly, "But you must also keep your promise. If you fall into my hands again, you must marry me."

"I will keep my promise." Li Yuan said firmly, "As long as you let me go, I will never come to you again."

In this way, a delicate negotiation was reached. Li Yuan used her wisdom and courage to win a glimmer of hope for herself. She knew that this was just the beginning, and she had to find a way to escape this cage, return to Gaoling City, and return to her people.

The hospital corridor was dimly lit and silent, with only the occasional sound of footsteps breaking the tranquility. Xinuowei sat alone outside her father's ward, her hands clasped together, her eyes revealing deep anxiety and fear. Her father, the man who had once protected her from the wind and rain and was omnipotent, was now lying on a hospital bed, the flame of life extinguished bit by bit.

Her father's condition was very serious, and the doctor's words hit her heart like a hammer. She knew that her father needed surgery as soon as possible, but the high cost of surgery was like a mountain, weighing her down. During this period, she raised funds while accompanying her father in the hospital, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally.

As night fell, Xinuowei gently pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. Her father was lying on the bed, his face pale and his eyes closed. She walked to the bedside and gently held her father's hands. Those hands were so strong once, but now they were so weak.

"Dad, you have to hold on. I will find a way to heal you." Xinowei's voice was tearful. She tried hard not to let the tears fall because she knew that her father needed her strength.

The father opened his eyes slightly and looked at his daughter's tired face, his heart filled with guilt and heartache. "Nuowei, you've worked hard. Dad knows how hard you work, but Dad is also afraid that he will never see you smile again." His voice was weak and trembling, and every word seemed to be spoken with all his strength.

Xinuowei held back her tears and said to her father with a smile: "Dad, don't be afraid. I will find a way to cure you. We will go to the sea and the sunrise together." There was determination and expectation in her words, as if she had already seen that day coming.
