Story Overview:-by: Em
As was recorded in the Jin Scripts, the Old Man Linghu saw himself in a dream walking on an iced lake when suddenly the ice cracked open and he saw a person under the ice, then he woke with fear. The dream readers said "The Yang is above the ice and the Yin is below the ice", the marriage of a man and a woman is the coupling of "Yin and Yang"; the dream readers predicted that Linghu Chak will become the matchmaker for other people and when the ice breaks, this will be the day he succeeds and thus the phrase "Ice Person" was reached.
The emperors throughout the ages strived to increase their population and the post of "Ice Person" was incorporated into the official ranking and given the role of co-ordinating the marriage plans of the nation, so in addition to the private matchmakers, there were also official matchmakers. Up to the Tang dynasty, these rules had matured and three years into the reign of Tang Gaozhong Yonghui, a document was written that became the earliest legislation ruling marriage.
In the reign of Tang Xianzhong, Chuen Ka Fook was the son of a rich family, but his mother was incorrectly paired with his father and this led to the fall of his family luck, not only losing all their riches but also their ancestral land and business, causing Fook's mother to die with regret. However, his father's debts were to be paid by the son and Fook was sold onto the Lian family, in a moment of anger, he took his uncle's son Ping On and ran away. To make his living, he became a private matchmaker and on the surface it would appear he would do anything to achieve his goals and make his fees and making unevenly matched marriages, but in fact he was using his mother as an example and does not want to have an incorrectly paired marriage, looking at whether the couples were truly in love with each other, even if their families objected. This brought him a bad name and he is continually running away from those unhappy with him.
