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!

Acting Annoyingly Smug About Having a Wife

Calix and Leslie ended up changing their plan. Instead of returning in the late afternoon, they had dinner together with Old Madam Xu.

The spouses unisonly acknowledged the old lady's desire to spend more time with them, leading to them extending their visit. Yet, they had to decline the offer of staying the night.

Old Madam Xu, Butler Gu and two maids sent Calix and Leslie off to the front door. Mrs. An and Logan were also there with them.

The moon was already high up in the sky. The clock pointed to a little after eight. They had an early dinner tonight.

"We'll come and spend time... with you again, Grandma..." said Leslie while holding Old Madam Xu's wrinkly hands, "Thank you for your... hospitality today... I enjoyed talking to you..."

After waking up from their nap, Old Madam Xu told Calix and Leslie to gather back in the lounge. She took the chance to show her new granddaughter-in-law a few of the family photo albums.
