Han Lu, a modern corporate high-flyer, couldn't take the 996 work schedule. When she woke up, she had become an employee at a matchmaking agency in the 1990s.
Completely bewildered, Han Lu wondered: They expected a committed opponent of marriage like her to come here and set people up? What kind of joke was this?
Han Lu immediately declared she couldn't do this job at all, dropped everything, and went home.
When she got there, she found her laid-off mother, her disabled older brother, an empty rice jar, a rusty pot, a leaky house, a car that rattled from every corner, and debts piled high. How were they supposed to live like this?
The next day, Han Lu went back to the matchmaking agency. At least it was a respectable job, wasn't it?
Once she settled in, she discovered that working at a matchmaking agency wasn't so boring after all. Every day was more lively than a comedy sketch.
The men and women she had to deal with every day had all kinds of demands, and the sheer entertainment value rivaled a variety show.
"I heard you hand out wives here? Give me one, and make sure she can have sons."
"My spouse has cancer and can only live for a month at most. Hurry up and register me. Once he dies, I can get married again."
"What kind of match did you set me up with? She asked me to buy her candied hawthorns the first time we met! I told you, I don't like women who are too materialistic!"
"Boohoo, my boyfriend ran off with his ex-girlfriend. Set me up with her boyfriend! I won't marry anyone else! I have to get revenge on that treacherous couple!"
What Han Lu thought working at a matchmaking agency would be like:
Match up unmarried men and women, earn a little matchmaking money, mooch some wedding candy, and make a living by doing good deeds.
What working at a matchmaking agency was actually like:
There are so many weirdos in the world, and the gossip just keeps coming.
After seeing all kinds of people fight and watching lovesick men and women suffer, Han Lu became even more determined to remain single.
The whole world reeks of romance, while she alone gives off the fresh scent of a single woman!
But one day, a cool, handsome man in a suit stepped out of a limousine, holding a bouquet of red roses.
"Lulu, I'm here to put up a marriage notice today. The person I'm looking for is you."
Staring at the lovestruck man, Han Lu gaped, sunflower seeds in hand.
Oh my gosh, today it's everyone else's turn to gossip about her!
