[COMPLETED]
----------
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.

Heiress' Househusband!

The cool breeze in spring eventually turned warmer once summer arrived. As planned for months, Calix brought Leslie and Calliope to Rome, Italy for their honeymoon trip.

Back to the place where they used to have a trip before.

The family of three departed right after Calliope began her summer break. Calix successfully secured two weeks off work, thanks to Andrian's willingness to cover for him.

They would stay in Rome for the first week before visiting Tuscany for the second one. The capital city and the region alike incited excitement from the family of three.

Calliope couldn't stop chatting about all the things she saw during the flight. Her voice, generally upbeat, echoed in the lounge compartment.

Calliope had been staring out of the windows, happy to look at the endless blue sky, the rolling hills and eventually the vast ocean.
