Tears to Shed

Male! Emily [2005]

Book 13

" I love you, Y/n. But you're not mine. "

Y/n has been betrothed to the wealthy Victor Everglot, despite any protest that they do not love each other. But the wedding is put on hold when a corpse drags Y/n to the Land of the Dead to be his bride. She desperately tries to get back to her family, until she realizes she may actually be into the corpse.

When you are dead, everything is more vibrant than the mundane life she had lived in England and, soon, as a rich man's wife.

She could go back to the stability offered by the Everglots. Or stay with her new husband, Emmanuel, to be his bride...his corpse bride.

" If I touch a burning candle, I can feel no pain
" In the ice or in the sun, it's all the same
" Yet I feel my heart is acting
" Though it doesn't beat, it's breaking
" And the pain here that I feel,
" Try and tell me it's not real
" And I know that I am dead
" Still it seems that I have some tears to shed "
