Reborn, I Pursue My Childhood Friend

As Lu Huiying lay dying, she thought Prince Yu truly loved her. Only when she saw her five beloved brothers dead in pools of blood, and watched Shangguan Ning, who had always stayed by her side no matter how often she drove him away or berated him, take a rain of arrows for her, did she realize the truth.
