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

Of all the places in Paris for the final matchmaking challenge, the Paris Catacombs was not what Ava had expected.

The eerie underground tunnels stretched for miles, lined with centuries-old skulls and bones stacked into neat, haunting patterns. The air was damp, filled with an odd mix of history and claustrophobia.

"I'm just going to say it," Ryan muttered, adjusting his flashlight. "This is not the most romantic setting for matchmaking."

Ava sighed. "Tell that to Margaux."

Margaux Duval, the elegant mastermind behind the L'Amour Élite competition, stood at the entrance of the Catacombs, smiling like this was a charming vineyard tour instead of a literal underground graveyard.

"Welcome to your final challenge, matchmakers," she announced, her voice echoing against the stone walls. "Today, you will lead your assigned clients through the Catacombs, solving riddles about love, history, and—most importantly—connection."
