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!

What If I Deceived You?

Aunt Wendy prepared minced beef porridge, half-boiled eggs, red bean paste steamed buns and hot soymilk for them. Calix served them all on the garden table.

Sitting side by side, they enjoyed breakfast in the backyard. Leslie's appetite was great, perhaps heightened by her surroundings right now. Calix was happy to see her eating more than usual.

"Do you want this bun?" Calix showed the steamed bun held in his right hand, "We can soak it in the soy milk."

"I want..."

Leslie nodded, forlornly staring at the big yet fluffy steamed bun. Her nutritionist still put her on a liquid diet. Eating solid food wouldn't be good for her throat yet.

Calix poured some soy milk into a small bowl. He ripped the bun into tiny pieces before letting them soak in the drink.

"They're soft enough now, I think."
