In a northern countryside in 1972, Wu Tangbao's family was so poor they could not even afford a meal, and she accidentally bound herself to the Matchmaker Yue Lao system. By helping single men and women in the village matchmake and form happy couples, she accumulated merits to exchange for food and cloth coupons, slowly lifting up her hungry family. Rival matchmakers tried to ruin her business and steal clients, but she exposed them on the spot; young lovers facing cruel opposition were helped by her to unite. All along the way, she saw through schemes, fulfilled happy unions, and finally became a deeply respected person across all neighboring villages.
