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 tea shop was quiet, a welcome change from the whirlwind chaos of the matchmaking convention. Sunlight streamed through the windows, casting a golden glow over the polished wooden tables and shelves stacked with colorful tins of loose-leaf tea. For the first time in weeks, Ava felt like she could finally exhale.

"Are you going to keep pacing, or should I set up a lap counter?" Ryan's voice came from the back corner, where he was leaning against the counter, arms crossed and watching her with an amused grin.

Ava stopped mid-step, glaring at him. "I'm not pacing."

Ryan arched a brow. "You've been circling that table for the last five minutes. Pretty sure even Harold could beat that time, and he's still recovering from the convention's dessert-cart collision."

Ava groaned, running a hand through her hair. "I just… need to think."
