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!

Morning of the Qingming Day

Tomorrow morning, Qingming Day.

At a little over seven, the main branch and the branch families of the Xu family headed to the cemetery. Old Madam Xu and a few other elderly stayed at home due to their fragile state.

Everyone within Calix's family went there by riding the same executive van aside from him who drove by himself. Behind the van and CEO Xu's car, more vehicles of their relatives followed.

Leslie was curious why Calix didn't join his family in the van. She asked him as the car was leaving Phoenix Heights behind. His answer pleasantly surprised her.

"I won't join their picnic after cleaning the tombs. I told Mom and Dad that I wanna check on you, my wife at home. They immediately gave permission."

"What a sneaky act! You just don't want to entertain them any longer, right?" Leslie wiggled her brows, staring at Calix with a smirk.
