[Supernatural folklore + ensemble cast in the underworld + funny and heartwarming + light mystery + plot-driven + satisfying revenge]
[Jiang Fei, the seemingly bubbly mood-maker who’s actually clever and levelheaded, VS Chen Yu, the sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside onion-type hero]
Top matchmaking consultant Jiang Fei drops dead in front of her computer after another late night at work. When she wakes up beside the River of Forgetfulness, she receives an appointment letter from the Underworld Matchmaking Office.
Fail to meet her monthly KPIs, and she’ll be thrown into the animal realm for interspecies matchmaking?
Before she can even digest this terrible news, she’s dragged into the Underworld Marriage Registry and married off to a ghost.
Her ghostly groom may be tall, long-legged, and handsome, but that still doesn’t ease her resentment over an arranged marriage.
She’s just made up her mind to become the Underworld’s top matchmaker when the first pair of customers vanish from the Terrace of Looking Homeward!
And her ghostly groom turns out to be the last person who saw them.
As Jiang Fei brings more and more couples together, she faces ever greater dangers. What secrets lie hidden in the enigmatic Fengdu?
(Here for the ensemble cast? The story has the matchmaking agency staff’s chaotic daily lives, the food-and-fun squad’s mortifying mishaps, and the investigation team’s tense, thrilling cases.)
(Here to ship couples? Besides the main couple, there’s a younger Meng Po, a new-style Judge, the Black and White Guardians, the bookworm A Bu, and more. A gentle young lady from the Ming dynasty × a laid-back modern programmer; a headless frontier general × the city bureau’s top female forensic examiner; a mixed-race fashion designer × a socially anxious mystery novelist; an award-winning actress × a popular young star, and plenty more.)
(Here for the wild ideas? The Other Shore Matchmaking Agency’s attached bar, the Impermanence Gym, Meng Po’s milk tea shop, the Yellow Springs Express Station, the Underworld KTV, the Three Lives Stone Internet Cafe, and more, each with its own adventures.)
The setting is very interesting. The first blind date scene made me laugh to death. I look forward to the future development.
