Love's Red Thread in the Mortal World

Wang Ke is an intern in the Matchmaking Department of the Celestial Court. His KPI is to bring together ninety-nine couples in the mortal world.

But his clients are a little unusual: a socially anxious programmer, a Republican-era old woman still clinging to an unfinished obsession... Meanwhile, his boss is demanding a thirty-page “Report on Arranging Fated Matches” while quietly setting up a “Cultivation Club for Those Against Overtime.”

So the trainee matchmaker, an Underworld clerk, a demon-realm coordinator, a mortal-world Taoist, the Matchmaking Department supervisor, and a retired mountain god reach an understanding amid the warmth and bustle of a barbecue stall:

If the heavenly rules are too rigid and the red threads too thin, then use loopholes in the data to bring immortals and mortals together, resolve family grudges through dream visits, and package sensitive requests as official documents. Gently chip a gap into the iron walls of the rules, letting the light through.
