How to Reverse My Wife’s Death

Lacy, daughter of the Lennon ducal house and Grand Duchess of Felista.
Through the Emperor’s arrangement, she was married to Rafez Felista — heir to a family that had been her enemy since the war.
The dark years of marriage that followed were only to be expected.
Even so, she endured it all for the sake of her family.
“Lacy.”
And then she died.
And her death was laid entirely at his feet.
A false accusation of m*rder. Punishment. The stripping of his title. The ruin of his family. And at the last, his very life.
In the end, deciding that death was preferable to all of it, he took his own life — only to find himself flung back into the past.
If this was how things were going to be, then he had no choice. He would have to save her.

But.
“Lacy! No, this isn’t — this can’t be right……. Please, just wake up, Lacy!”
There was no reversal.
No matter how much he shook her. No matter how much he called her name, pleaded, begged.
In the end, Rafez rested his hand on the coffin set before him and spoke to her.
Hoping she might hear.
“I’m sorry to ask this of you — but you’ll have to open the lid and rise again, Lacy.”
