Win My Husband Over to Find My Child
[COMPLETED]
----------
After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Leslie Song has been single-handedly raising her precious little daughter Calliope. Itโs a difficult life, but itโs 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. Calliopeโs crochet fox seems to hear her. It opens its mouth and asks, โDo you want to see your daughter again? If so, follow me. Her soul has already left for another world.โ
Leslie agrees. Thatโs the last thing she remembers before losing consciousness. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herselfโor rather, her soulโstanding beside her unconscious body on a hospital bed.
โHow is this supposed to help me find Calliope!โ she exclaims.
โThis is not your body. Your body is dead. This is my original host, Charlene Li,โ explains the toy fox. โYou can possess her body to find Calliope, but if you do, you must finish her uncompleted mission for her.โ
โAnd what mission is that?โ
โTo marry the second most eligible CEO in the city.โ
โThis,โ Leslie concludes, โis a scam.โ 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 grandmotherโs 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."
Butโฆ why is he seeing his newly-wedded wife hovering beside her own body?
Before he can react, his wifeโthe moving oneโfloats towards him.
"Husband! Help me find my child!"
โYour child?โ Calix asks weakly before doing the only reasonable thing he can do in such a situation.
He faints.
