Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Witty FL x Adorkable ML + a cute bun + a talking crochet fox ---------- September: On a short hiatus, will resume in October ---------- 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!

Crying Alone Is Not Fun

"Mama, Little Aunt cry."

"...huh?"

Stunned by what Calliope had just said, Leslie stared blankly at her daughter. She remained quiet for a few seconds before her senses returned, pulling her out of her trance.

The mother and daughter were in the home library. They just had lunch together around two hours ago. Evelyn also joined them while Calix was absent because of work.

Leslie was reading a book when Calliope suddenly appeared. Her daughter was going on her daily adventure inside this huge mansion. It was something the little dumpling loved to do.

"Poppy, what did you say? You saw or heard... your aunt crying?" Leslie unintentionally lowered her voice. She placed both hands on Calliope's shoulders, "Where? In her room?"

Nodding, Calliope's eyes expressed her worry, "Mama, why Little Aunt cry? Poppy see Little Aunt cry in her room. She hide under the blanket ah."

"...now? Poppy, did you see your aunt... just now?"
