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!

Weathering the Years of Marriage

Before commencing the banquet, Andrian and Harper gave a speech. They stood on the elevated platform, adorned by flowers and lights, being the center of the attention.

The celebrated couple donned matching shades of silver and black. Andrian was charming in his tailored three-piece suit while Harper was elegant in her floor-length dress.

Leslie, sitting at the front row table intended for the close family, watched her parents-in-law in awe. Calliope also did the same, her round eyes admiring her grandparents.

"Papa, Mama," Calliope whispered, almost whistling, "Grandma and Grandpa look so good."

The little dumpling's remarks earned soft laughter from Calix and Leslie. They sang to the same tune as their child.

"Yes, Poppy. They look good," Leslie said quietly. She gently rubbed Calliope's little head.

Calix smiled in helplessness, "We'll go and greet them later, en?"

"Okay~"
