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!

The Serenity Offered by the Lake

Leslie threw her gaze outside the window, looking at the vastness of the night sky. She had just woke up from her nap. The clock was pointing to eight-fifteen.

Withdrawing her eyes from the windows, Leslie drifted her gaze to the bedside table where she kept Charlene's diaries. Her mind recalled every important detail she found before, the ones that led to the shocking yet expected course of events.

About the night Charlene spent with a stranger, followed by her long confinement in a faraway place by the enraged Li family.

'I should listen to him first before I say anything.'

Leslie intended to bring up all those matters tonight during her conversation with Calix. She believed her guesses about his knowledge wouldn't stray too far.

A perceptive and smart man like Calix wouldn't do senseless things. There was a reason behind him asking her to talk after dinner. Especially after they had just returned from meeting Calliope.
