The Villain Only Wants to Play Matchmaker

Lu Yan transmigrated into a book, becoming a rich villainous heir with the same name: rich and influential, but stupid and rotten. In the original story, the male lead drove him into bankruptcy, broke his legs, and got him sent to a psychiatric hospital.

He dropped to his knees on the spot. “Starting today, I’m the love-life bodyguard for the male and female leads!”

To save his own skin, he went out of his way to avoid the female lead and spent money to set the leads up. But the original male lead, Gu Yanchen, read far too much into it, deciding Lu Yan was secretly in love with the female lead but too proud to admit it.

Only then did Lu Yan realize: he had been trying to set up the male and female leads, but the male lead ended up marrying the childhood friend he had never once tried to matchmake.

At the wedding, Su Wanwan raised her glass. “A toast to Lu Yan, professional matchmaker. A zero percent success rate, yet somehow everything worked out.” Lin Weiwei added
