Fan artist x the Matchmaker from a book
A socially anxious workaholic and true-love romantic vs. a cool, aloof, dark-hearted romantic
.
Fan artist Qin Xiuxiu is a workaholic. Her commissions keep rolling in, all thanks to her special talent:
Any crack ship she draws becomes the fandom's most popular pairing.
As a result, she's known in fandom circles as the ultimate ship artist, the greatest virtual matchmaker of the modern age.
Countless fans seek her out to draw art for their favorite ships. Qin Xiuxiu works tirelessly, winning vast territory for them.
Then one day, she wakes up to discover she has transmigrated into the original novel she stayed up all night reading...
Not only has she become an obscure food-serving boy at the Matchmaker Temple, she's also acquired a True Love System.
[Starting today, you must help this Matchmaker Temple meet its matchmaking quota!]
Qin Xiuxiu looks at the temple, covered in cobwebs and deserted: Are you sure?
[The temple's owner is the 233rd-generation successor of the Matchmaker! If you work with him, you'll complete your mission and get back home in no time!]
Qin Xiuxiu looks at the cool, stern-faced guy outside, who's nearly gotten into an argument with a passerby: Have you downloaded the national anti-fraud app?

[Reader's Guide]
As the ancients said: Our bodies, down to every hair, are gifts from our parents, and we must not harm them.
Therefore, embroidering with one's hair is the best way to show one's feelings.
Women often embroider pictures with their hair as gifts for their beloved, while married couples each contribute a lock of hair to embroider a single picture, symbolizing their eternal devotion to one another.
The Matchmaker statue, wrapped in blue-green moss, appears and disappears from view as a silver needle weaves through three thousand strands of black hair.
A red thread, pulsing like a heartbeat, slowly rises from the embroidery and points toward a beloved far away.
But waiting for them in the distance is more than just a beloved. There are also tangled, hidden truths...
Theme: Love can overcome anything.
