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 Glowing Sparklers on The Summer Night

The early summer night was quite cool, a comfortable time for the children to play with sparklers before enjoying their hot chocolate and marshmallows. They rushed to the front yard around seven-thirty after having a nap earlier.

"Granny! Our sparklers!"

"How many can we play?"

"I wanna play~"

Calix and Leslie looked at Director Li being surrounded by the little turnip heads, Calliope was among the ones at the front. The middle-aged woman distributed the sparklers while reminding the children to be careful when playing.

"Should we get some sparklers once we're back? We can play with Poppy."

Calix's statement had a hint of seriousness, earning a chuckle from Leslie. This was another moment of his excitement about having Calliope home with them.

"A nice idea. Maybe we can play... at the lake?" suggested Leslie. Recalling the peaceful scenery of the lake, she knew Calliope would grow to love the place as well.
