The Matchmaker Extraordinaire

An ice matchmaker is an elegant term for a matchmaker.

A forceful, quick-witted young lady x a gentle, devoted general

Other CEOs are domineering, wild, and handsome. Bai Yunqi, a CEO, loves to tease people and play matchmaker.

She had just built her own matchmaking empire when, on the day it went public, she transmigrated into the body of the silly second daughter of the Prime Minister's household. Now she had to take her elder sister's place and marry General Xu, the most powerful and fearsome man in the empire.

Seeing that things were going badly, she tried to run. But just before she could escape, she discovered there was more to the substitute marriage than met the eye, and had no choice but to stay and get married.

Fortunately, General Xu was away fighting in the northwest, so he couldn't control his new wife. Bai Yunqi took advantage of his absence to rebuild her matchmaking empire.

Oh, right. In this dynasty, matchmakers were called ice matchmakers?

Fine, then she'd open an ice matchmaker's shop. Not only would she make it famous across the empire, she'd corner the entire capital's matchmaking market and dominate the business!

But just as her career was getting started, General Xu came home.

Bai Yunqi was fretting over how to deal with him when she discovered that General Xu wasn't at all as crude and cruel as the rumors claimed. He had a face like jade and a gentle air about him, hardly what she'd expected from a general!

But she found that all the more intriguing.

So she talked General Xu into a pact: they'd pretend to be a married couple. It would help them deal with the imperial marriage decree, and she could use his influence to expand her matchmaking business, even taking over the army's matchmaking market. Her shop would make a fortune and become wildly popular!

As a result, Bai Yunqi found herself liking General Xu more and more, and even started to develop real feelings for him. But for the sake of her grand plan, she had no choice but to ask for a divorce.

The matchmaking business she built wasn't just about pairing people up. In the end, she wanted to forge a path to equality where every woman could express her free will!

Straightforward Synopsis: Just as a matchmaker is making a name for herself, she transmigrates and is forced into a substitute marriage. She rebuilds her career independently, then takes it even further with the help of her gentle, devoted husband, finding homes for beautiful women (not necessarily through marriage, since free will matters most) and finding love herself. A sweet story with parallel career and romance plots, featuring a strong female lead! Sweet romance, no angst, plus lots of couples to root for: a capable weaver and a gentle teacher, a pampered young lady and a pitiful sweetheart, a bold female butcher and a rough soldier, and a cute, clingy puppy of a man and his sharp-tongued, aloof older sister.

The author is a typing machine made flesh, writes incredibly fast, and sticks to sweet romances featuring couples who have only ever been with each other. A fan of men who uphold virtue, with a little spice now and then.

Theme: Love needs guidance, but respect for one's own choices matters.
