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 chaos of the day had finally settled, but Ava still felt the lingering adrenaline from the Omiai challenge. She'd bested Julian—again—saved Kenji and Rika from an awkward matchmaking disaster, and even managed to keep Ryan from causing more trouble. That should have been enough to let her relax.

Yet, as she stood by the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of their suite, Tokyo glittering beneath them like scattered diamonds, she found herself still… restless.

Ryan, fresh out of the shower, towel-drying his hair, noticed immediately.

He leaned against the doorframe, shirtless, sweatpants hanging low on his hips. "You're thinking too much."

Ava didn't look at him. "I always think too much."

Ryan smirked, walking up behind her. "I know a way to fix that."

Before she could protest, his arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her against him.
