Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Witty FL x Adorkable ML + a cute bun + a talking crochet fox ---------- 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!

Lounging at the Rooftop Pool

Leslie and Calix met one of the two private nurses once they returned to Graceville Manor, Mrs. Su. The other one was Mrs. An. The two professionals took turns taking care of Leslie – Charlene's body.

Calix invited Mrs. Su to his home office. He wanted to clarify what the private nurses could and couldn't do in this house. At least, these new arrangements would allow Leslie to be in peace.

"Mrs. Su, you and Mrs. An don't have to take night shifts. You may come in the morning and stay until the evening. Night onwards, I'll take the responsibility of caring for my wife. Oh, you don't have to come in the weekend too."

Mrs. Su intently listened to the young man sitting opposite her. She and her colleague had been given reminders by their manager before coming to Graceville Manor.

Even though their employer right now was Old Madam Xu, they still needed to take Young Master Xu's orders. After all, they were taking care of his wife within their home compound.
