Continuação de Os números do amor, O teste do casamento é uma história apaixonante sobre um romance que cruza fronteiras entre os países e os limites do coração.
Khai Diep não tem sentimentos. Bom, ele fica irritado quando mexem nas suas coisas e satisfeito quando os centavos são incluídos nos livros contábeis, mas não consegue vivenciar nenhum sentimento profundo, como luto ou amor. Ele acha que tem algum problema, mas sua família sabe que, por ser autista, ele processa as coisas de um jeito diferente e tem dificuldade com as emoções. Como Khai se recusa a arrumar uma namorada, sua mãe resolve viajar ao Vietnã para encontrar a noiva perfeita para ele.
Sendo birracial em Hồ Chí Minh, Esme Tran sempre se sentiu deslocada. Quando surge a oportunidade de ir para os EUA e conhecer um possível marido, ela sabe que não pode recusar, pois é a chance de mudar a realidade de sua família. Mas seduzir Khai não sai como o planejado. E assim ela se apaixona por um homem que está convencido de que não pode retribuir seu afeto.
O tempo de Esme nos EUA está se esgotando. Será que Khai vai admitir que estava errado, e que pode haver mais de uma maneira de amar, antes que seja tarde demais?
