The Debt of Love Came Knocking

A lighthearted, stress-relieving sweet romance. Unexpected pregnancy / Serendipitous encounter / Same-sex marriage setting / Eight-year age gap. The untouchable wealthy heir—precious phoenix egg of a prestigious family vs. The perpetually unlucky in love—eldest daughter cursed with failed engagements. What is a "phoenix egg"? The family's hope, Grandma's cherished darling, the most pampered in the household, burdened with the duty of continuing the bloodline. The Lu family's wealth rivals nations, and with vast fortunes resting on Lu Yang’s shoulders, she works diligently to be the perfect heir. She excels in everything, except for one worry—her marriage. While neighboring heirs have harems by eighteen, their precious "phoenix egg" doesn’t dare hold a girl’s hand, so sweet it melts hearts. On a journey to collect debts, Lu Yang sets off with an entourage, never expecting to return with more than gold—she ends up entangled in a debt of love. What does it mean to be "perpetually unlucky"? Born into nobility, the capital's top talent, peerlessly elegant before sixteen—only to be cursed with fatal engagements ever since, doomed to spinsterhood. Tao Yuan, the eldest daughter of the Tao family, dignified and breathtakingly beautiful, resigned to carrying the stigma of a "husband-killer" to her grave—until she meets the Lu family's "phoenix egg" and ends up with child! A rainy night, a ruined temple, a passionate encounter... As memories of that heated night replay endlessly, Tao Yuan caresses her still-flat belly, unable to meet her family’s shocked gazes. Steadying her crumbling composure, she speaks softly, voice icy-cold: "I must find her." .
