Stick With The Cold Female lead

Chapter 2 ''Phoenix in Distress''

The Su family posted an announcement to find a husband for their eldest daughter.

Speaking of Su Yi, the Su family's eldest daughter, she had always been the talk of the town in Fengcheng.

It is said that the Su's Family matriach was a concubine of a certain marquis. The marquis had many daughters, and the concubines also gave birth to numerous girls. According to the order of favor established by her predecessor, when the Su family's matriarch arrived, she became the leader of Wind City.

Although she held little power, the governor of Fengcheng had to show her respect. When the family was divided, she was also granted a substantial amount of land, several shops, and some silver.

The head of the Su family was good-looking when she was young. Although she was idle and lacking of education, she married a well-educated and courteous man based on her looks. After the marriage, the two were deeply in love, making others envious. Unexpectedly, a few years later, the Su family's matriarch became pregnant, but tragedy struck.

Her husband, while offering incense, fell into the water and passed away. This shock led to the Su family's matriarch giving birth to the Su family's eldest daughter prematurely. She suffered severe bleeding and nearly lost her life. Although doctors tried their best to save her, she couldn't give birth again.

The Su family's matriarch didn't have the time to grieve over her inability to conceive again; she was too preoccupied with her daughter's affairs.

The eldest daughter of the Su family had always had fragile body due to her premature birth, suggesting that her time in the womb was difficult. She had been constantly unwell, and a few years ago, there were even rumors that she was dying. Though she was later rescued, her complexion remained unhealthy.

The Su family's eldest daughter was not a subject of discussion because of her illness but rather due to her appearance. She was considered exceptionally beautiful, surpassing all others in the country and the city.

None of the young men and women in Fengcheng City possess the same level of beauty as her.

In particular, the way she delicately clutches one hand to her heart, as though in pain, draws the attention of numerous women due to her seemingly fragile demeanor. Had she been a young man, the Su family's threshold would have been flooded with potential suitors.

Therefore, early in the morning, when the marriage notice was posted at the entrance of Fengcheng, people entering the city were eager to check out the situation. The crowd was so dense that no one could even squeeze through the door.

The onlookers could only guess about the seriousness of the illness of the Su family's eldest daughter, which prompted the marriage notice, but they also lamented the difficult conditions set by the Su family for choosing a husband.

"Why do you only need a young man? With Miss Su's body, a strong and powerful woman can take good care of her."

"Come on, even though Miss Su is exceptionally attractive, do you really expect her to become your spouse? Go home and stop day dreaming."

The onlookers were immediately disappointed and lamented, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity, what a pity."

In a remote village dozens of miles away from Fengcheng, the villagers, after completing their farm work, gathered under a large tree to seek shade and chat.

"Hey, the terms offered by the Su family are truly impressive."

Li Tiezhu, who often went from the village to the city to sell firewood, clicked his tongue and said, "They say the young man who gets chosen will receive three hundred taels of silver, twenty acres of fertile land, and dozens of pieces of cloth from the Su family. They will even be offered him gold and silver jewelry".
