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!

Tell the Truth or Fabricate Lies

Calix and Leslie lay together on the bed, trying to get some rest whether they ended up napping or not. They managed to ease some of the tension stemming from the slight chaos.

Over one hour later, a female helper—Mrs. Zhao—came to fetch the spouses. Old Madam Xu specifically chose her, knowing her ability to assist Leslie if needed.

Mrs. Zhao was a certified caregiver. She used to work for a care home before coming to the Xu family's ancestral home. The middle-aged woman usually worked close to Old Madam Xu.

While Mrs. Zhao helped Leslie to get ready, Calix waited outside. He simply freshened up by washing his face.

"Second Young Madam, you're in good shape," praised Mrs. Zhao as she gently pressed Leslie's right forearm, "The old madam worries about you but, I think you're getting better quicker than most people."
