Blurb: Outgoing, sharp-tongued woman x secretly devoted, loyal-dog man

Cheng Muyan is a matchmaker deterrent. Her main business is going on blind dates with men on behalf of women suffering from pressure to get married, then putting the men off until they lose interest in the clients.
Ideally, she gets them to block the matchmaker for good, never to cross paths again.
But working in this line of business, she's bound to run into some extreme oddballs.
Like this time, when the other party called the police...

Su Yuhuan had been on the job for just seven days when he was called to two bizarre cases.
Cheng Muyan was involved in both.
The first time, a man reported that his blind date refused to marry him, then forcefully demanded that Cheng Muyan be executed on the spot.
The second time, Cheng Muyan was in a bad way, with a huge lump on her head and blood running down her face.
Su Yuhuan: "You went on a blind date on the subway?"
"No." Cheng Muyan pointed to a mother and son nearby, acting like river imps as they waved a water bottle around and cried and carried on. "That woman insisted I tell her son he was handsome. I just couldn't say it."

The first time Cheng Muyan rode in a police car to the hospital, she thought it was pretty cool. After getting her bleeding stopped and picking up her medication, Su Yuhuan drove her home.
Neither of them expected to meet a third time two months later.
At the blind date, Su Yuhuan was the first to break the silence. "Who are you helping this time?"
Cheng Muyan: "No one. I'm here for myself."
"But I am," Su Yuhuan said. "I'm here for a friend."

A short, sweet one-on-one romance. Just romance, and a good time.
The whole story is written and ready. It will launch this year.
Theme: Pressuring people to get married is wrong
