I Am A Matchmaker on Taobao

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

After waking up from a car accident, not only was I alive, I had also gained a new ability. If I stare at someone or a photo for three seconds, I’m able to see whom and when they shall marry…

The 18th tier small-time actor Shen Chuchu knew that with this skill, her mother would never have to worry that she will starve to death again.

She would put down her roots on Weibo first, then open a matchmaking store on Taobao.*

“Your husband is a close friend and you will be married in March next year. You will have a happy marriage.”

“Your husband will appear at your company’s dessert store soon, so remember to keep a close watch every day.”

……

*Note: Weibo is a popular social media app in China with functions similar to Twitter. Taobao is basically the Chinese eBay/Amazon.

A certain amateur celebrity is already married?

A certain director’s wife is going to have an accident soon?

One day, someone came to her for matchmaking.

“Sorry, lady. Fortune-telling requires fate, and it seems like we don’t have that between us.”

“Isn’t this just about money? As long as you can figure out my son’s marriage, I can pay you tenfold. No matter how much!”

F***ing hell, it wasn’t that she wouldn’t predict the match. The arrogant CEO’s future spouse was actually her.

I really love this series! I think the flow of the plot and relationship within the story overall is good although the system is not actually heavily used near the end.

  • I like how independent and smart the MC
  • The relationship between ML and MC is not so abrupt at the start y'know things like suddenly this domineering CEO love MC at the first sight
  • The feelings between MC and ML is growing steadily and warmly ><
  • I like how respectful ML of MC opinion and her wishes and doesn't doubt her
  • Not unnecessary drama or misunderstanding, well only tiny bit as a stepping stone in their relationship
  • The time flow and time skip is so subtle and easy to follow
This is not that heavy kind of novel with strong plot, so if you looking for... more>> one, this is not for you. This is just heartwarming and light kind of romance novel and yes, the plot is very light with no strong rival or that heavy drama, but that is the selling point of this series. Some novels that I've read is really abrupt and corny and one in particular just full of time-skip and the relationship between MC and ML just so-so, but here in this novel, you can see that their relationship is growing from strangers to acquaintance and moving to friendship and finally loving relationship.

Anyway, this might be my biased review for this novel cuz I always love independent MC but overall, this novel is not that bad :) <<less

Not a bad novel. Until now the Male Lead is actually a gentleman, he's a nice man and treats MC well. Let's see if he'll be like that until the end.

if you are looking for a light reading, this novel is absolutely should in your list.

this novel has everything in romance story: beautiful FL, handsome ML, Fluffy and sweet romance. Long story short, FL almost hit by the car (of course it was a ML), but they were not suddenly become girlfriend boyfriend relationship. It takes times and effort mostly from ML. What I like in this story is that you won’t find villains that stuck in the story for long, it solved quickly either with helping from ML or... more>> by FL herself.

and this is one of story that easy to MTL, at least I didn’t get lost while doing MTL <<less

This story is so refreshing. I didnt even skip a chapter. It was really fun, especially the romance between Han Xingyan and Shen Chuchu is not forced or artificial.

Moreover, Shen Chuchu's ability to read people's marriage fate and children lead her to help other people to their happiness, which is not that she was forced to do so, unlike other novels about systems-related.

And then, the systems has minus policy if she violate certain rules, unlike other novels which only adds up all the scores, not deducting it.

Lastly, this story about... more>> the systems is not that rigid, unlike other novels, which only makes the FL or ML to act according to the systems' obligations. Shen Chuchu, on the other hand, dare to do something even though it is violating the systems' policies. She has her own personal values.

Overall, I love this so much. Definitely reread since there is no parts or chapters that are not enjoyable. Even the conflicts or climaxes are not that tough, but enough for Shen Chuchu to learn her lessons. After all, life's about learning. <<less

I love how the story has some cliche but not bad kind. And the ML is not the usual Overbearing CEO. It's refreshing!

Also Love how her Power is more than just to make or save a Marriage. But also help many people in need.

While she doesn't chose doing it just to be saint, but she does it for clear conscience and I Love it!

... more>> She's not super powerful whatsoever nor the Faceslapping that happen was exaggerated by the author. Everything was well nice paced and I Love it!

I'm quite content with the story flow and end. I can even read it fast without feeling bored. It's a nice Light Novel! Again I will say I Love it! <<less

A rather enjoyable race about a woman capable of seeing people's love life statuses that trips just short of the finish line. The ending isn't terrible but it is definitely not on par with the rest of the story.

The MC is a young actress who gets struck by light and passes out just before a car stops short of hitting her. Upon waking, she now has a system that shows her the marriage status of a person (which upgrades as the story goes on) and promises to help her level... more>> up her acting ability (but also warns of consequences stating that her acting skill will drop if she does not complete the daily task). Outside of this power, she's a bit naive and rather dense but kind-hearted. Despite the potential drawbacks of her powers, she regularly becomes nosey and helps out others.

Spoiler

Her interference in someone's life only backfires once but that's completely undone by the end of the story anyway so it feels a bit moot.

Also, it was freaking hilarious when the God of Marriage (or Luck in Marriage, I'm not 100% sure) told her that she was going to save the world. Apparently, happy marriages save the world.

[collapse]

The ML is a domineering but still respectful CEO type who either has an aversion to women or is a germaphobe but yet falls for our MC based on her attitude and general approach to life. Initially, he tries to buy her off with money after he nearly hits her with his car but he quickly begins to pursue her. Unfortunately, he sucks at it and she's as dense as a neutron star. Fortunately, it's done in a way that's rather entertaining to read.

Spoiler

He is legit the most subtle CEO ML I've read when it comes to pursuing his love interest. Of course, the story is more based on the MC so we don't really see too much of it but everything from regularly trying to take her out to dinner to the compensation for the accident; it's all done to try and win her over but she acts oblivious to it even though she clearly develops feelings for him. It's not until another actress tries to hype herself up with the ML that the MC begins to become jealous.

[collapse]

The story follows her journey from a newcomer actress all the way to winning an award. Along the way, she helps many people reconcile their troubled marriages or utterly breaks the bad ones apart. Her system gets upgraded several times which helps her out on several different occasions. Reading what happens to the "antagonists" (I use the term loosely here because most of them aren't really the MC's antagonists as they're the bad halves in other people's relationships) is fairly entertaining at first but then we don't really see what happens to them after. Yes, we see that "Such and Such" get divorced but they are never mentioned again afterwards.

There is actually a lot of this in the story. People and things that you think will be important turn out to be nothing at all. Even the 2nd ML (and potentially 3rd depending on how you feel about his story arc) aren't there for long.

Spoiler

I fully expected the MC's former classmate to have a much stronger impact on the romance between the ML and MC given that he had written her a love note back in College. Yet, they have a few moments together where he's an ass to her before a final phone call where he scolds her and then she just blocks his number.

Like... I get it, he was supposed to convey a domineering personality that never understood her or really stood by her side as a contrast to the ML being the right guy for her and doing all those things but it felt like the author was setting up something more and then just never went anywhere with it.

Outside of the additional "love interests", we also don't see what happens to her first manager who helped arrange for her to be drugged. While we do see the other people involved get screwed by the ML's company, her manager kind of gets a slap on the wrist and then fades out of the story. Dude should have gotten jail time for trying to set her up to get r*ped but he's never mentioned again after she breaks her contract.

[collapse]

Overall, I do like the story but it's a fairly average read with the pacing being super fast (beginning to end is over at least 2 years, possibly 3). The MC's naivety about celebrity circles does make sense given that she was a newcomer and often asked others for advice. However, this leads to contradictions later when the story constantly points out how she studies for her roles but yet seems to know nothing about the fellow actors until she's on set with them.

Still, nitpicking aside, it's a nice read. Nothing too horrendous and pretty much happy endings for everyone (I mean, unless you are those people who got divorced because of the MC). <<less

Concept is interesting and fun. Overall a nice story that doesn't have a lot of annoying toxic commentary from netizens and doesn't drag stuff out too much.

At this point I don't have a lot of expectations from Cnovels, just, don't be too much filler or toxic. (Lol)

I like that MC focuses a lot on her career and her system and less on love in the beginning.

Spoiler

I have mixed feelings about a "marriage system" that takes points away if people who aren't suited for each other not marry, but okay (eg. MC helped ppl who didn't work well together not get married and instead of gaining points for making someone a lot happier than they would've been, lost points).

Also, the main character's marriage system is a little too OP. Even though the author takes steps to make it feel less deterministic (some people do change their minds after influence which changes the marriage system accordingly), it still felt a bit too much like fate. It's not like a matchmaking system where the MC can see their compatibility, it will literally show someone's marriages or divorces in their entire lifetime including 3rd marriages 20 years in the future.

[collapse]

Also ML is seriously hilarious and very bad at "chasing" people.

Overall great translation, appreciate it from plumlizi and Little Lady's Dollhouse. <<less

Had to stop at chapter 10. I usually like OP protagonists but this was a little bit too Mary Sue in the bad way. Everybody lacks logic to make the MC/ML look better.

In this chapter ... more>>
Spoiler

MC gets into an argument with an extra (female president under ML CEO who likes the ML and dislikes the MC because she thinks MC got an ad due to unspoken rules with ML). The extra is older. The MC's response to the extra's bullying is literally "you hate me because I'm young and beautiful." After the ML tells the extra to apologize to the MC, the extra (who is a president of the company!!!!) cried and then quits because she doesn't want to apologize???? This is a middle aged female executive in Asia who is not a chaebol and made it as president of the largest company in China. She is either a workaholic overachieving tank or a two faced shark with killer people instincts (maybe even both) but either way not someone that cries and then immediately quits? I would have expected her to have apologized with a smile and then tries shady tactics later.

Also agree with previous reviewer that it was messed up that MC revealing the director's mistresses's bad info (she had plastic surgery, slept with lots if men) actually improved the director's marriage with his rich backer wife.

The mistress and the agent were also the type of brainless that is unbelievable.

I agree with fellow reviewers, the premise is very interesting however sadly the execution falls short. I'm somewhat conflicted about the rating because to be honest this is a good read, it just feels lacking taking in account its potential and high expectations caused by the matchmaking theme. As usual in CN novels, this novel has great ideas that somehow end up reduced to neglected plot devices. It's pretty nice if you feel like reading something without ups and downs.

The plot and characters are okay, however they feel kind of... more>> plain. There's nothing really outstanding or special. There's little to none emotional involvement with the characters (maybe because the FL is never actually in a truly troubling situation since she met the ML) and both the ML and other characters are just there... we don't really get to know them. I think it's a shame the focus was on her career instead of the matchmaking but I admittedly like the lack of cat fights and drama involved.

The ML is okay, I appreciate the fact he's not the cold, arrogant CEO usually seen. He does share some tropes but he's more toned down. I liked the fact he actually respected her and he properly courted her.

Maybe I'll edit this later when the translation is over to check if the plot holes were my own misunderstanding because of the MTL, for now I noticed these ones:

Spoiler

-When ML sent his employee to compensate MC for the car situation, he seemed worried about her noticing or knowing something. It hinted to the ML having a secret related to their first meeting yet this was never mentioned again. It makes me wonder if I thought too much or it was related to an idea dropped later on the plot.

-The matchmaking system is really neglected. We never really find out the ins and outs of it. MC lost points for saving her future manager from marrying a mercenary fresh meat yet she gained points later on even when she prevented other unhappy marriages? there's no clear distinction to know the rules in this matter. Also, I didn't find a part when MC checked her own marriage star rating, I assume it's a 5 star since she's the protagonist but it did seem strange the author was so casual about that part. Will she have the system forever? What will happen when her acting skill is maxed out? Did she ever tell the ML about her skills?

A lighthearted comedy so far... romance, what's that?

The ML always appears in time to SAVE THE DAY... with cartoon-like punctuality. I'm sure it's supposed to be dramatic and romantic, but I'm laughing my ass off. 😄 Until chapter 60, the ML feels more like a plot device than a real character. *random male gets close to FL.* *puff, a wild CEO Han appears & scares them away* *Han Xingyan and Shen Chuchu exchange less than 100 words* *puff, CEO Han disappears* like Tuxedo Kamen, in and out in under 30... more>> secs. 😉

The FL doesn't have a lot going for her, but she's hard-working and very self-aware. 🙃 She's not a character that gets dumbed down for plot reasons once in a while, neither is she a hailed as smart but badly written. She's just... not that bright. And aware of it.

"Ah, I was not strange but very dumb. I unexpectedly passed the university entrance exam but what I didn't expect was that it was the beginning of a nightmare. [...] Everyone else passed their university time with food and fun while I continuously had to resit exams on top of a mountain of books and question papers"

That's very refreshing.

If you like the author's writing style, I recommend reading some of their other works, which feel more polished.

I'll update my review after finishing the novel but one of the translator's comments was so funny (after this pandemic) that I had to post it here. It's like a meme.

Before 2020:

"On the third day at ten, Shen Chuchu went out wearing a mouth mask*, hat and sunglasses.

*TL-note: Also known as a surgical mask, it is intended to be worn by health professionals during surgery and during nursing to catch the bacteria shed in liquid droplets and aerosols from the wearer's mouth and nose."

After 2020, most adults:

"Ok, so should I get ffp2 or quilter's cotton?" <<less

Such a shame. It had so much potential to stand out among the typical CEO love stories yet it did not. I still can't justify in my head how the ML fell for her after hitting her by his car. It also bugs me how the ML ALWAYS comes at the right time to save her from whatever predicament/mess she's into. It's the first time where I didn't feel much for the main couple but find the side couples more interesting.

Ngl, I didn't finish this and actually rage quit few... more>> chaps before the ending, around 111~ ish chap. The FL had it wayyyyy too easy and I can no longer stand it.

I just wished they focused more on her being a taobao matchmaker though. Could've made this story way more fun and interesting. <<less

Plenty of fluff, perfect for when you just want to turn off your brain and enjoy some light reading.

I like the MC and ML are somewhat typical but not really. They both are logical people so there is little to no misunderstanding, which saves you from some frustration that normally appears when reading this kind of trope.

The story is over few years span so it's somewhat slow romance (?), but it makes the story flows more naturally. Though in the chapters it's shortened as 'few weeks or months passed', so... more>> there's a lot of mini time skips.

First half of the story is mostly about the system and marriage reading, while the second half is mostly about MC entertainment career and relationship.

Translation is also high quality though I used MTL for the untranslated ones.

Overall, a nice simple read.

Spoiler

I feel a good recommendation would be The Heartbeat at the Tip of the Tongue. Both MCs were supported by ML to start at first but they were hardworking people, so they improved their skills over the time. Both MLs were also clear about their feeling so we get to enjoy some relationship time. Both couples met through chance encounter, then met again later on.

[collapse]

There's no drama and just focus in their relationship and the dream of the FL.

The FL has a good character, independent when she can do it, help others when she knows that they are good people (it gives her backer in the industry, its good for her being a good person to those who are good to her)

Spoiler

[collapse]

I also like the side characters like the cousin of the ML and the 1st fan of the FL they're good match. Its just sad cuz there is no side stories for them.

I like the Mother of ML she is also cute ahahaha so anxious about her sons lovelife cuz of her sons personality.

I REALLY DO LIKE THIS STORY. IT GAVE A heartwarming..

What a lovely novel. At first I was hooked by the system in this book. It is not a usual system that I am used to red about. Most of the time the main characters will have to follow the tasks of the systems that are very straight forward in these type of books. However, in this novel Shen Chuchu has to figure out the meaning behind her new acquired skill herself and grow together with it. The main task is simple - to match people with the end goal... more>> of marriage. But human life is never just black and white now is it? When you have such a tool in your hands at some point you have to ask yourself are you doing the right thing? Will you sticking your nose in other people private lives be helpful or create unnecessary conflicts?

Don't get me wrong this novel is very easy on your heart with a very straightforward and fluffy romance that I enjoyed so much! But the complicity of the system is what gave this novel good substance. The male lead was just wonderful too. Always there for Shen Chuchu when she needs him. Both of them understood one another with no crazy drama. It is good to see a relationship that can grow and mature without other people throwing stones at them.

Highly recommended! <<less
