[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!

Their first meeting ended right there and then.

Charlene returned to the counter to place her order while Kallix resumed drawing on his tablet. She opted to sit at another table, reluctant to bother the man any longer.

When Charlene was eating while reading the e-book on her phone, Kallix slowly approached her table. He placed something, a folded napkin before her.

Under Charlene's curious gaze, Kallix said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Charlene. Here's a small gift."

Charlene blinked, looking from the napkin to Kallix. Cautiously, she asked as she saw the bag shouldered on his back.

"Are you leaving already? Thank you for the gift."

Kallix nodded, his lips curling up, "Most likely we'll meet again. See you later."

"Yes. Thank you, Kallix and, see you."

Charlene waved her hand a little as Kallix turned around, walking out of the cafe. His strides were quick and big, seemingly to be in a hurry.
