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 gentle hum of Paris waking up filled the air as Ava and Ryan stepped out onto the cobblestone streets. The sky was painted in soft hues of pink and gold, and the chill of the morning was offset by the warm promise of sunlight. The city felt quieter at this hour, a stark contrast to the opulence and chaos of the previous evening's gala. Ava took a deep breath, letting the crisp air calm her nerves.

"Where are we going?" Ava asked as Ryan led her down a narrow street lined with quaint shops and flower stalls just beginning to open.

"Somewhere without chandeliers or Julian," Ryan replied, his hand lightly brushing against hers as they walked. "You need coffee, and I need to keep you from spiraling before the first challenge."

"I don't spiral," Ava said defensively, though the faint smile on her lips betrayed her amusement.

Ryan raised an eyebrow. "You've been muttering about 'perfect match algorithms' under your breath for the last five minutes."
