Ava Lee is a fierce 28-year-old with a reputation as the go-to wedding planner for modern lovebirds. But when her grandmother, the legendary matchmaker Mei Lee, decides to retire, Ava is roped into managing her old-school matchmaking service as a favor. Skeptical about Mei’s “fate over algorithms” approach, Ava begins mixing modern tech (swipe-right dating apps) with Mei’s unconventional methods, leading to unexpected results—and disasters.

The real problem? Divorce lawyer Ryan Kim, who keeps sabotaging Ava’s matches under the guise of “saving people from heartbreak.” Forced to collaborate with Ryan to save a failing matchmaking project, Ava discovers there’s more to his cynical view of love—and to her own guarded heart.

Matchmaker Mayhem

The hotel rooftop had become Ava and Ryan's unofficial sanctuary over the course of the convention. It was where they escaped from Harold's snoring, Mei's chaos, and the nonstop whirlwind of matchmaking challenges. Tonight, under the inky New York sky speckled with stars, it felt more significant. This wasn't just another escape. It was their last night before heading home, and the air carried the bittersweet weight of endings—and beginnings.

Ava leaned against the railing, staring out at the twinkling skyline. The distant hum of traffic and laughter from late-night revelers below filled the air. She took a deep breath, letting the cool breeze soothe her frayed nerves. "Well, we survived," she said finally, her voice quiet but tinged with amusement.

"Barely," Ryan replied, stepping up beside her. He rested his elbows on the railing, his shoulder brushing hers. "I think Mei's popcorn fire alone knocked a few years off my life."
