Olivia Huang Christenson takes over her grandmother's traditional Chinese zodiac matchmaking service in Los Angeles. She discovers that Bennett O'Brien, the city's most eligible bachelor, has created a dating app that turns her family's ancient wisdom into cheap "animal attraction" gimmicks. The app threatens to destroy everything her Pó Po built. Olivia refuses to let some arrogant tech entrepreneur demolish her heritage, even if he happens to be devastatingly attractive. Bennett believes old traditions need modern updates to survive. When their businesses clash, they strike a dangerous bargain. Each will find a romantic match for the other. Whoever falls in love first loses the competition. Olivia knows she should stay focused on protecting her family legacy. But Bennett has already proven he can steal business ideas with ease. Now she worries he might steal something far more precious.
