As a deputy director unit certified by the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs, “Perfect Marriage” has established partnerships with Tsinghua University, NanKai University, and other top-tier universities in China.

It is analogous to relocating a park's "matchmaking corner" online, transcending temporal, spatial, and social boundaries. Children are assisted in defining their preferences for partners and finding suitable matches by a team of professionals who have, on average, 13 years of experience in the matchmaking sector. In addition, they offer other services like parent-child relationship counseling, dating advice, and relationship counseling. Combining online and offline services, offline public matchmaking events have occurred in dozens of cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.
