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

Leslie vaguely recalled the uncomfortable feeling of having the blazing sunlight shine directly on her face. But, she was not conscious enough to wake up yet. Eventually, the glare faded as if something obscuring the sunlight from her.

Leslie slowly stirred awake from her nap, only to find Calix sitting next to her. His towering back was enough to block the piercing light.

Hearing the call of his name, Calix turned around. He faintly laughed at the sight of Leslie rubbing her eyes. Her hair was slightly messy from her sleep.

"Had a good nap?" Calix adjusted his sitting position, facing Leslie properly this time. Propping his elbow on one thigh, he rested his chin on the back of his hand, "Seems like you really like this place."

A chuckle found its way out of Leslie's lips, amused by Calix's teasing. She sat up while running her fingers through her long hair. Her eyes landed on his smiley ones.
