Who Should I Set Up Today?

[A marriage fairy who does her job by the book and never gets personally involved x a scholar who is innocent and gentle at first, then sweet on the outside and dark within]

As the Matchmaker God's most prized disciple, Yi Wan's ability to arrange marriages is beyond question. Yet the Matchmaker God is always teasing her for being coldhearted, so he sends her down to the mortal realm to bring together lovers whose paths to love have been difficult.

Over the course of a hundred years, she has brought many couples together. As the time approaches for her to return to Heaven and report back, his name appears in the marriage ledger.

Yu Muyuan hit his head when he was six, and his mind has remained stuck at that age ever since. Unless someone intervenes, he will never regain his wits or return to the path fate intended for him.

So Yi Wan comes to his side and becomes his child bride. She searches for doctors and medicine for him, teaches him to read and understand the world, and accompanies him to the Zhuang family's estate to earn travel money for his imperial examinations.

The man passes the imperial examinations with flying colors and rises to great prominence. Soon, he will marry the woman destined for him and spend the rest of his life with her.

Yi Wan has done what she came to do. It's time to leave this stage, where she never truly belonged.

Beneath the same familiar face, the woman is no longer the fiancée who has been by his side for so long. The man goes mad.

He swears he will find the heart-stealing liar and keep her locked by his side for the rest of their lives!

The male lead's perspective:

You gave me a scented sachet, and I gave you a silver hairpin in return. We exchanged tokens of love, so we're already married.

You stayed with me through the hard times, and I'll repay you with wealth and glory, along with my whole heart. Why won't you accept it?

Why push me toward another woman? Your heart is so cruel!

A little scene:

One day after they arrive in the capital

"A Yi, don't look at other men. I'll get jealous!"

"How can I read his face if I don't look at him? Besides, how many times have you gotten jealous already?"

"I don't care about that. A Yi, you've lost your magic now. If you don't behave, I can't guarantee what I might do!"

"..."
