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

Tokyo greeted them with a crisp morning breeze and the dazzling glow of city lights that never truly dimmed, even in daylight. The moment Ava and Ryan stepped off the plane at Haneda Airport, the sheer magnitude of their arrival settled in.

Ava adjusted her shoulder bag, stretching out the stiffness from the long flight. Around them, passengers moved in a steady stream, some rushing toward connecting flights, others reuniting with family and friends. The faint hum of announcements in Japanese and English echoed through the high-ceilinged terminal, blending with the rolling sound of suitcases across polished floors.

"Welcome to Japan," Ryan murmured beside her, his voice still laced with that early-morning rasp from the flight.

Ava exhaled, shifting the Tokyo postcard Mei had given her from one hand to the other. "Yep. First stop on the Global Matchmaker's Summit." She shot Ryan a look. "Ready to be thrown into matchmaking chaos all over again?"
