Synopsis

[COMPLETED] ---------- After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Leslie Song has been single-handedly raising her precious little daughter Calliope. It’s a difficult life, but it’s a happy one. A freak accident puts an end to that. As Leslie lies dying on the road, watching Calliope breathe her last, she curses her helplessness. Calliope’s crochet fox seems to hear her. It opens its mouth and asks, “Do you want to see your daughter again? If so, follow me. Her soul has already left for another world.” Leslie agrees. That’s the last thing she remembers before losing consciousness. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself—or rather, her soul—standing beside her unconscious body on a hospital bed. “How is this supposed to help me find Calliope!” she exclaims. “This is not your body. Your body is dead. This is my original host, Charlene Li,” explains the toy fox. “You can possess her body to find Calliope, but if you do, you must finish her uncompleted mission for her.” “And what mission is that?” “To marry the second most eligible CEO in the city.” ‘This,’ Leslie concludes, ‘is a scam.’ But she has no other choice. ********** Meanwhile, the second most eligible bachelor in the city, Calix Xu, is patting himself on the back for thwarting his grandmother’s attempts to marry him off. After exhausting all of his tricks and excuses, he has resorted to marrying the comatose daughter of the Li family. Calix smiles, pleased with himself, "Aren't I smart? Grandmother can do nothing now." But… why is he seeing his newly-wedded wife hovering beside her own body? Before he can react, his wife—the moving one—floats towards him. "Husband! Help me find my child!" “Your child?” Calix asks weakly before doing the only reasonable thing he can do in such a situation. He faints. ---------- WSA 2024 entry!

Chapter 1Doom Came Crashing on Them

"AMBULANCE! Call the emergency lines!"

"Help! People trapped in there!"

"N-No! I saw a mother and a child walking there earlier! Are they the victims?!"

Faint cries and shouts made their way under the wreckage. Fighting against the searing pain, Leslie forced her eyes open. Trapped under the collapsed billboard, the dimness limited her eyesight.

"Urgh... C-cough! Cough!"

Leslie let out an aching cough. The piercing ache traveled all over her body. She was lying face down among the debris, her whole body was covered in dust.

"Poppy... Calliope..."

Leslie's hoarse voice was barely a whisper. Her erratically beating heart almost jumped out of her throat. Her precious daughter's name kept coming out of her lips.

"Calliope... Mama's here... where... Cough! Cough!"

More dry coughs escaped Leslie's mouth. Using what was left of her energy, she tried pushing the debris off her body. She was forced to crawl, her palms sustained cuts from the scraps.

"Calliope... where are you? P-Poppy!"

Leslie reached a quite ample spot where she could at least kneel. Pushing her upper body up, her mind and heart were still focused on finding Calliope.

Desperation and fear washed over her the longer she was separated from her daughter.

Today was supposed to be a joyful day for them.

Then, why...

Why did it end up like this?

Slipping in and out of her consciousness, Leslie inadvertently recalled the few hours before the chaos fell on her and her little one.

Leslie received her salary today. She treated Calliope to a meal at her daughter's favorite restaurant. The cheap yet delicious food was enough to make Calliope happy.

"Mama~ Poppy wants matching dresses with Mama."

Calliope was overjoyed when Leslie promised to buy her a new dress. She should have gotten it last month but, a few episodes of bringing a sick Calliope to the hospital depleted her small savings.

But... 

Once again Leslie failed to keep her promise.

While passing a massive billboard by the pedestrian walkway, Calliope playfully let go of Leslie's hands.

The little one's infectious laughter echoed in the air as she tried to run ahead of her mother. Her chubby hands were hugging her favorite fox toy.

"Mama~ Come and catch Poppy and Mimo~"

"Poppy! That's dangerous!"

Right when Leslie quickened her pace, something unbelievable happened.

A truck lost control and rammed into the billboard. The huge impact caused the devastating end for the billboard as it crumbled before falling on the walkway.

"ARGH! Calliope!"

"M-MAMA!"

In the blink of an eye, their joyful day turned nightmarish. The mother and daughter were imprisoned under the wreckage.

'I shouldn't... let her hands go...'

Dread clawed into Leslie's heart. The horrifying image of Calliope's face was stuck in her mind. Her failure to protect her precious daughter was eating her insides.

"...Calliope!"

Leslie's eyes widened the moment she finally spotted Calliope lying not far from her. Yet, her happiness was cut short.

"N-no... Calliope! No! NO!"

Leslie dragged her injured body to get to Calliope. Tears pooled in her eyes, blurring the gruesome sight of her daughter's little body impaled by a broken steel rod. 

"Mama's baby... Poppy... Calliope... open your eyes..."

Leslie carefully touched Calliope's small shoulders. Warm blood stained her palms. A sick feeling twisted her gut but, she kept trying to wake her daughter up.

But...

Calliope's eyes remained closed and not even the faintest breath came out of her nose.

A realization dawned on Leslie. Her heart froze for a second.

"...Poppy? Why... aren't you waking up? Don't... don't do this to Mama... Open your eyes, please."

No...

Her daughter was still alive!

Her daughter was still here with her!

She hadn't...

|Leslie, do you want to follow Calliope?|

"...huh?"

A child-like yet genderless voice suddenly drowned the rest of the white noise. Before Leslie could say anything, it spoke again.

|Ten seconds before the offer ends. Do you want to find your daughter Calliope?|

Caught off guard by the disembodied voice, Leslie didn't realize a piece of steel rod was hanging loosely above her. It would fall within a short time.

|Do you want to live another life with Calliope?|

The words gently penetrated Leslie's hazy mind. Calliope's small body was still warm in her arms. Her eyesight lost much of its clarity.

As if being under enchantment, Leslie whispered as her body slowly tilted down.

"...yes, bring me... to her."

Lying again on the ground covered by debris, Leslie didn't feel the pain when the steel rod finally fell, piercing her back. Calliope stayed in her arms.

|You've made the better choice, Leslie.|

**********

"...where am I?"

Leslie found herself surrounded by a white void. The eerie calmness of her surroundings sent shivers ghosting down her spine.

"Earlier... What had happened? ...urgh!"

Leslie pinched the space between her temple. An onslaught of pain stabbed into her head.

|Aren't you looking for Calliope?|

"...?!"

The slightly familiar child-like voice shocked Leslie. She abruptly looked up to where the echo came, only to be caught off guard once again.

A red fox toy was floating above her. The stuffed crochet toy's appearance was so familiar to Leslie.

"Aren't you... Mimo? You... you can talk?!"

Mimo nodded slightly. It jumped toward Leslie. She flinched, surprised by the movement of the fox toy. Mimo remained floating in the air yet, it assumed a sitting position. 

|Have you forgotten what happened just now? Leslie, you said you want to find Poppy again.|

Leslie's eyes enlarged. 

"M-Mimo! That was your voice?" shouted Leslie, her eyes staring widely at the fox toy.

|Yes. That's my voice.|

Horrified, Leslie was robbed of her words. The shock made it hard for her to register her current situation in her mind. 

But...

"P-Poppy! Where is she? Where's my daughter? Why can't I see her now?"

Leslie's worry for Calliope took over the initial surprise. She frantically looked around her but, there was no sight of her daughter anywhere. There was only Mimo in her eyes.

|Poppy is safe. I promise you. But, we couldn't get to her now. We need to find her in the new world first.|

Frowning, Mimo's words unintentionally managed to cease Leslie from panicking nonstop.

"...find her in which world?"

Saying nothing in response, Mimo flicked its red tail. A book suddenly appeared in front of Leslie, catching her off guard.

"Wait, Mimo..." Leslie's voice suddenly lowered, laced with disbelief, "This book... don't tell me..."

Mimo retained its calmness as it replied, |Leslie, you need to transmigrate into this book world. Calliope is in there, somewhere.|

"..."

Leslie was speechless. Her movement was quite stiff as she took the book from floating in the air. 

'The Grumpy CEO Chases After His Glamorous Wife'

Wasn't this the book she was reading? Did this mean she would transmigrate into any of the characters?

But, who?

"Mimo, do you mean..." Leslie was distraught. She couldn't believe this was happening to her, "I'll take someone else's body? How could I do that?"

"You can possess my body."

Leslie froze when out of nowhere, a young woman materialized in front of her. The latter seemed to be around her age, a beautiful yet frail-looking.

"...who are you?"

The unknown woman smiled but, it didn't reach her doe eyes.

"Hello, my name is Charlene Li. How about you take over my body?"

PAMPERED BY MY THREE BROTHERS: THE RETURN OF THE NEGLECTED HEIRESS

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!

What a great start to your new novel. Leslie and Calix are adorable! Can’t wait for more and to uncover some of the mysteries around a particular character. It’s made me laugh quite a few times over Calix’s responses to the situation he has found himself in.

I cannot express to you how much I love this story. When I read it, I can easily imagine Leslie and Calix with my favorite Kdrama actor/actress. The characters have so much chemistry. They each have their own quirks, and in just a few short chapters, I've grown to love them so much. Calix is one of the greenest flag males I've read on Webnovel. So thoughtful and considerate. Its so so refreshing. The romance feels so pure. And plenty of "Awwwwww" moments to go around. The humor is so subtle, its wonderful. I hope this novel gets endless accolades! Read this novel. Such a wonderful story.

I picked this story up to not waste genre passes and boy am I glad I did! I only read the free chapters so far, and I really like Leslie and Calix. Even though the entire situation is quite unbelievable, both show patience and understanding towards each other. Calix treats Leslie not like some supernatural monster, but like an actual person. It's nice~ definitely a nicer change of pace from all the action, horror, thriller or adventure stories I've been indulging in. I'm going to wait a little more to binge read ~w~ ehehehe p.s. I like old madam Xu. I like that she has Charlene's back when her (Charlene's) own family doesn't.
