Love’s Debt Comes Knocking

Money is no issue. The pampered darling of a wealthy family, the “phoenix egg,” vs. the unlucky one. The eldest daughter who simply can’t get married.

The so-called “phoenix egg”—

The hope of the family, the beloved grandson cherished by the matriarch, the most doted-on person in the entire household, tasked with the responsibility of continuing the family line.

The Lu family’s wealth is immense, enough to rival a nation’s treasury. With such a vast fortune resting on Lu Yang’s shoulders, she strives diligently to be the perfect heir.

She excels in everything and is accomplished in all respects, but the only thing that worries everyone is her marriage.

The young master next door had a house full of wives and concubines by the age of eighteen, while their family’s “phoenix egg” at eighteen didn’t even dare to hold a girl’s hand—adorably innocent and endearingly well-behaved.

On a journey to gain experience, bidding farewell to family and friends, Lu Yang set out with a grand entourage to collect debts. Little did she expect that instead of collecting debts, she would end up owing a debt of romance.

The so-called “unlucky one”—

Born into a prestigious family, the top talent of the capital, peerlessly elegant and refined before the age of sixteen. After turning sixteen, whoever she married would die, making it impossible for her to wed. She remained unmarried until an advanced age.

Tao Yuan, the eldest daughter of the Tao family, is virtuous in character and outstanding in appearance. She thought she would carry the stigma of being a “husband-killer” to her grave, never expecting to encounter the Lu family’s “phoenix egg”—and even end up with a child!

A rainy night, a dilapidated temple, a night of passion…

Countless scenes of tenderness and intimacy replay endlessly in her mind. Tao Yuan gently strokes her still-flat belly, enduring the shocked and complicated gazes of her father and brothers, feeling deeply unable to speak of it.

Forcing herself to steady her nearly shattered composure, she softly opens her lips, her voice indescribably cool and detached: “I must go find her.”
