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 One Dramatic Friend

The next day, Calix busied away in the office. He had more important tasks to do today but, he still hoped to return home for dinner.

Calix yearned for nothing else at the end of each long day at work. He wished to come home to his beloved wife and daughter, dining together and spending some time before bed.

Edward kept coming and going from the CEO's office, having to report certain progress directly to Calix. He looked as exhausted as the latter as the day went by.

The younger man didn't forget to hint at applying for another vacation to which he earned a deadpan look from his boss.

Their main focus today was on the work related to the company. There was nothing new and significant about Nicholas' side, something Calix was thankful for.

He didn't want to add more burden and stress to himself because of the cowardly bastard. At least, let him live a rather peaceful life this week.

"Haaa! I'm so sleepy..."
