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.

Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Calix recalled Leslie's desperate look when she informed him of her prophetic dream earlier. She urgently told him the possibility of Violet being harmed by someone tonight.

Calix's thinking was just the same as before.

If Leslie didn't tell him any of it for fear of being judged, Violet would be on the receiving end of the danger.

She could keep quiet and, no one would know. Yet, she still approached him, wanting him to save his friend's lover despite she herself didn't know the latter yet.

"My friend... Xander and I owe you our gratitude," Calix took a momentary pause. The image of a pale and unconscious Violet slipped into his mind, "His girlfriend has to thank you too but, she and Xander can't do it so..."

Exhaling a sigh out of helplessness, Calix's gaze on Leslie softened.

"Let me represent them to thank you, Leslie. You've done us a huge favor tonight. Thank you so much."
