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 early morning sun bathed the Rue Cler Market in golden light, illuminating the rows of fresh produce, warm baguettes, and stalls of colorful flowers. The smell of baking bread, ripe cheese, and fragrant herbs lingered in the air, mixing with the lively chatter of vendors and shoppers.

For most people, a morning at the market was a relaxing way to start the day.

For Ava and Ryan, it was their next matchmaking battlefield.

The second challenge of L'Amour Élite was all about matching clients in an organic, natural setting—no pre-arranged meetings, no profiles to rely on. Just pure intuition.

As Ava scanned the bustling market, she sighed. "Why do I feel like this is going to end in chaos?"

Ryan, standing beside her with his hands in his pockets, smirked. "Because it's us?"

Ava rolled her eyes. "Fair point."
