THE TRANSMIGRATION BEFORE DEATH - Chapter 122: ASH AND AWAKENING

Li Zhizhi was taken back to the capital at the age of fifteen to recognize her ancestral roots. As the true eldest daughter of the Li family, she should have been cherished.

Just what she needed: her love life is a crime scene, and the man stupid enough to let her go is holding her freedom in his hands.
