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

Soon, CEO Xu learned the reason behind his little daughter's snotty crying face.

Chuckling, Leslie waved at Calix to come closer. As the confused man did as he was told, she whispered the entire story into his right ear.

"I wanted to walk to the couch when... Poppy cheered and jumped around me... She tripped on her foot so I tried to... catch her..."

Leslie stopped the wheelchair quite a distance away from the couch. She wanted to practice her walking after seeing the satisfactory result during her rehab today.

As Leslie took slow steps, the happy Calliope clapped her small hands and hopped around her mother. The little one eagerly expressed her encouragement.

Unfortunately, Calliope stumbled. A panicked Leslie quickly grabbed the little one, exerting her body beyond her current physical ability.

Calliope didn't get hurt even the slightest but, Leslie got bruised on the right calf as she tried to shield the little one.
