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!

Visiting His Wife's Maiden Home

At a quarter before six, Calix and Leslie headed out of the CEO's office. Their destination was Jadeite Peak where the Li family's ancestral home was.

All of the gifts had been loaded into the car by Edward. Once again Leslie was amazed by the number of gifts Calix got. She shuddered as she imagined how much all of them cost.

Once they got inside the car, Calix contacted Rowan. They had a short conversation on the phone.

"Father said he'll be waiting for us. I mean, me," Calix put down the phone. He buckled the seatbelt while looking at Leslie, "How is it? Did I sound like a good son-in-law?"

Leslie smiled faintly, a subtle awkwardness flickering in her eyes. Instead of answering Calix, she came up with a question of her own.

"Are you going to address my parents like that now? Father and Mother?"

Leslie couldn't get used to the idea yet. Rowan and Bianca were her parents now because she almost—soon—would occupy their real daughter's body.
