Before Ruan Ci closed her eyes, she looked back on her life as a matriarch. Though she had been widowed young, one son had passed the highest imperial examinations, another had become a renowned young general, and she had arranged so many good marriages. She had no regrets.
She closed her eyes, opened them, and awoke in a completely unfamiliar place, taking part in some kind of dating show?
Once she learned that romance meant bringing people together and playing matchmaker, Ruan Ci was delighted. Wonderful! She loved matchmaking! Thanks to her keen eye for reading people, she'd brought so many happy couples together. The merit she'd earned was greater than building a temple, and now she could see people's character even more clearly!
The young movie star the original Ruan Ci had been chasing was shrouded in dark clouds, with narrow features. He clearly wasn't a good person, so she needed to stay away! And sure enough, he'd gotten his movie star status through shady connections.
The girl who sidled up to Ruan Ci with sweet, coy talk was surrounded by a dark purple aura. Her eyes darted about, and she looked like a schemer. Not someone to associate with! Sure enough, she attacked others online, marketed herself as an innocent fairy, and even faked a couple pairing with the movie star.
Ruan Ci rubbed her chin and turned to look at the girl said to have an awful temper. She had open, broad features and a sturdy build. She seemed like a good person! She'd be a great match for that cheerful-looking man nearby, with his pleasant smile and easy laugh. Ruan Ci had to set them up!
Ruan Ci, the matchmaking enthusiast from a bygone era, started pairing people up in the entertainment industry and having fun shipping couples. She became famous nationwide as the "CP Oracle" and the "CP Compatibility Detector"!
"Ruan Ci, Ruan Ci, are my favorite stars really together?"
"No."
A week later, the publicity couple broke up on the spot.
"Ruan Ci, Ruan Ci! Is XX deliberately clinging to my favorite star? When will they split up?"
"They won't. They're a great match!"
A month later, the couple showed off their marriage certificate and began planning their wedding.
"Ruan Ci, Ruan Ci, are you and Su Jingwen really together?"
"Well..."
The other lead replied from afar: "Of course we are!"
Ruan Ci: Who knew matchmaking would end up pairing me with someone?
His bone structure was extraordinary, and his features were exquisite. He was the finest creation of heaven and earth. Even great wealth and status couldn't begin to describe his good fortune. The golden glow surrounding him was blinding. He was a once-in-a-thousand-years perfect match, and Ruan Ci couldn't help blushing and feeling her heart race!
