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!

Savoring the Afterglow

The rhythmic echo of the ocean waves resonated just outside the closed windows of the hut, accompanied by the rustling of the palm trees.

The string of fairy lights and candles in the jars still flickered around the wooden cabin, twinkling alongside the stars on the dark canvas of the night sky.

The quiet tranquility seemed to enclose the beach in a world of its own.

Lying entwined on the bed, Calix and Leslie were cocooned in the afterglow of their lovemaking.

They nestled close in a contented bliss, savoring each other's warmth. The intimate moment they shared earlier lingered in their minds.

Calix draped his arm around Leslie's waist, holding her close. Running his fingers through her luscious locks, he occasionally kissed the top of her head.

As Leslie rested her head on Calix's bare chest, she smilingly listened to his steady heartbeat. Feeling the rise and fall of his breathing, she was glad to know he was alive.
