Love isn't about being implanted with new bust (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insolvent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bust' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'love isn't about being implanted with new' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'love' is 'olve' which is located in the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is located in the answer.
'isn't' could be 'isnt' and 'isnt' is found in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for insolvent that I've seen before include "Snivel not, although you are bankrupt!" , "gone to the wall" , "deep in debt?" , "Broke" , "without the means to pay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
