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

The small party started at seven in the backyard. Aside from Calix, Leslie, Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond, Mrs. An also joined them. She was on duty tonight.

Mrs. Su clocked out before the celebration started but, Aunt Wendy sent her off with several food boxes. The former happily thanked the housekeeper for the dishes.

The group of five had fun dining at the pavilion built on the wooden deck. Uncle Raymond entertained them by singing old songs. He grabbed Aunt Wendy's hand, inviting his wife to sing along.

Good food and good people played roles in having a great party. They exchanged stories and laughter while enjoying the delicious dishes.

The echoes of the merry sounds harmonized with the gentle lapping of the water and the leaves rustling.

Eventually, the party came to an end around ten.

"Calix, thank you. I enjoyed... the party so much."
