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

Aunt Wendy's words made Leslie flinch. She unconsciously tensed up, wondering how should she greet Irene as soon as they met.

This would be the very first time Leslie interacted with Charlene's family members, the people who shared the same blood as her.

Would she do a good job playing Charlene?

"Remember, don't feel guilty."

At that particular moment, Charlene's words[1] during their farewell echoed in Leslie's mind. They brought along the peacefulness lying in the former's voice.

Leslie clenched her hands together, unaware of what she was doing. Her gaze was blank as if she was caught in a trance.

Noticing the change in Leslie's expression, Calix silently gestured at Aunt Wendy to leave. He reached out for his wife's right hand, gently patting the back of her palm.

Don't Cry Buckets, Will You?
