When they first met, Ji Shanzha was full of swagger. She thumped Cen Zhiyang on the chest and declared, "In our line of work, across all of Chang'an, I dare say I'm second to none."
When she learned that Cen Zhiyang was the newly appointed hereditary official matchmaker, Ji Shanzha fell silent as a mouse. Pinching his sleeve delicately, she pleaded in a soft voice, "Everyone knows that across all of Chang'an, you're the top matchmaker in our line of work."
Cen Zhiyang gave her a sidelong glance. His expression cool and indifferent, he flicked his sleeve and made her his first target.
Ji Shanzha's private matchmaking business came to an abrupt halt. Furious, she declared, "You started this, so don't blame me for giving as good as I get."
-
Her idea of giving as good as she got was to cross Cen Zhiyang's threshold and become his adviser. To protect her business's reputation, she also made herself useful and clung to this aloof man for all she was worth.
Cen Zhiyang often said, "You private matchmakers are truly disreputable." Ji Shanzha would flash him a fake grin, thinking, So much for your high-and-mighty attitude.
-
One day, he actually tried the lunch she'd brought him. "It's not bad. It suits my taste," he said leisurely.
"..." Ji Shanzha pressed her lips together to hold back a laugh. Well... it was what her uncle had left over, and she'd brought it along on a whim.
-
One day, when their colleagues gathered, Cen Zhiyang got tipsy. Seeing her laughing and chatting with another man, he grew jealous, grabbed her with all his might, and pinned her against the wall. In a chilly voice, he warned, "Try getting close to another man again."
Ji Shanzha: "?" Her round eyes were full of confusion.
Noticing their colleagues nearby watching for a laugh, her face flushed. She shoved him away.
Of the thirty-six stratagems, retreat is best.
From then on, a rumor spread through Chang'an: Lord Cen couldn't win the woman's heart, drank himself silly over love, and had his heart broken every day.

Private matchmaker x official matchmaker; happy ending; sweet romance; alternate Song dynasty setting; many original worldbuilding details.
The message: Do your duty and help the people find marital happiness!
After I started working, my life was crowded with work, and I was faced with the pressure of thesis. I was sitting on the Shenzhen Line 6 subway, with tall buildings outside the window, and the inside was transparent. I suddenly felt that there was no place to go. I clicked on the articles I had written and watched the collection increase bit by bit. The words I once wrote were proof of my love. The exhausted spirit came back little by little. I was saved by my past code-writing self who is now numb. I think this is the greatest meaning of writing articles to me.
The copywriting is so interesting, haha
Yes, it's really good! Keep up the good work, I love watching it
Wow, this is the first time I've seen this profession!! It's so novel
After reading it, it was very interesting. I feel that both the male and female protagonists are very distinctive.
When you saw the copy, did you think of the Gold Medal Iceman?
Collect it first, watch it again after you gain weight.
Ahhhhhh, it's May Day holiday, and I can finally write a novel woo woo woo
There is a sense of déjà vu like the gold medal iceman. It's a TV series, and it's also about matchmaking. Super nice
Why is the heroine's name called Hawhhhh?
