Has the Anonymous Matchmaker’s Identity Been Exposed?

Yu Nanzhi, the true-born daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, is delicate and timid. Aside from her beauty, she has no other notable qualities and is practically invisible in Chang’an. Whenever people mention her, they always say that she is far inferior to her adopted elder sister, who is knowledgeable, well-mannered, and well-liked. Yu Nanzhi: Who cares? Listening to the big orange cat and the willow tree whispering to each other, she writes as though divinely inspired— Orange Cat: “There’s nothing in the Duke of Zhenguo’s residence that can escape my notice.” Willow Tree: “The Heir of the Marquis of Wu’an has already been on his eighth blind date this month, and not a single young lady has taken a liking to him.” …… On this particular day, every noble young lady in Chang’an was holding a newspaper produced by Nanzhi Que, enthusiastically discussing the ideal types of the various talented young men, hoping to use this information to win their hearts. As for this, the anonymous matchmaker Yu Nanzhi merely smiled and kept silent. After learning that her family had drawn up a list of potential husbands for her, Yu Nanzhi decided to investigate them one by one. But— At the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the second legitimate son of the Marquis of Quling fell in love at first sight with a famous courtesan. At Qujiang Pool, the only son of the Minister of Revenue got drunk and was unable to make their appointment. During a spring outing at Youle Plain, Li Wulang unfortunately fell from his horse… As Yu Nanzhi teased the snow-white cat, she casually raised her eyes and caught sight of its owner. He wore white robes and a golden crown, and his eyes were like distant snow upon a lofty mountain. Yu Nanzhi smiled and said, “Your Highness the Prince of Qinghe, why is it that every time I arrange to meet a young gentleman, some sort of accident always happens?” The young man leaned down toward her, his warm breath brushing against her neck. “Little Magpie, haven’t you figured it out yet?” — Cui Zixu, the Prince of Qinghe, is universally praised as a man of exceptional grace and beauty. Everyone says that he is the Qilin son of the Cui clan, the dream lover of half the young ladies in Chang’an. Yet he alone is stern and rarely smiles, treating others with indifference. He has already passed the age of twenty, yet still has no woman in his heart, which has caused the Grand Princess no end of worry. On the sixteenth day of the second month of the fifth year of the Xihe era, Nanzhi Que’s article, “Speculations on the Marriage Prospects of the Cui Clan’s Qilin Son,” became a sensation throughout Chang’an. Upon learning that he had become the subject of gossip throughout the city, Cui Zixu was not angry. Instead, he took out a small notebook and silently made a note. Until one day, he caught his little magpie in his hand and pointed at the notebook. “This article alone forgot to mention the noble young lady of the Duke’s residence—she is the one most compatible with me.” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Has the Anonymous Matchmaker’s Identity Been Exposed? — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
