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. 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!

Enjoying the Rides

As requested by Calliope, Calix brought her to the spinning tea cup ride. The little dumpling's face lit up once she saw the bright colorful cups spinning around.

Children and adults alike were enjoying the ride. Their merry laughter echoed in the arcade, harmonizing with the upbeat melody played by the giant speakers.

Lowering Calliope to the ground, Calix smilingly asked, "Which one do you want?"

Calix wanted to prioritize Calliope's choices more than his own. He wouldn't mind riding which tea cup but, perhaps his darling daughter was inclined toward a particular one.

Tugging at Calix's hand, Calliope pointed toward one of the colorful cups, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Papa, the pink one with white ribbons. Can?"

Calix's eyes followed where Calliope was pointing at. A family with one young child occupied the cup. The current ride had just started.

"Okay. We will pick that one. We need to wait until they're done first."
