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

In disbelief, Leslie kept staring at the red crochet fox toy held by the sunny Calliope. The little one merrily showed the toy, even asking if the former wanted to hug it.

"Aunty, my friend is so soft, so cuddly~ Oh! His name is Mimo! Isn't he cute?"

What the... its name was also Mimo?

Unable to give any appropriate response, Leslie could only gape at the crochet toy with her mouth slightly opened. Incredulity glinted in her stunned gaze.

'En? Why did she look like that?'

Calix raised his brows, noticing how stiff Leslie suddenly appeared. She quietly examined the crochet toy as if she was shocked to see it.

'She didn't mistake it with the one I made, right?'

Calix was not sure what was happening but, he could only assume that. Well, Calliope's crochet toy looked similar to other fox toys he had seen before. The one he crocheted previously also bore resemblances.
