Re-defining a Vietnamese original legend.
divided.
The day Trong Thuy left, My Chau did not cry, did not linger. She knew he would return, not with the heart of a husband, but with the invading army of Nam Viet. When Trieu Da’s army attacked, An Duong Vuong believed in the power of the magic crossbow without suspecting that it had been disabled. And when the kingdom collapsed, he took out his anger on his daughter, not giving her a chance to explain.
Before being punished by her father, My Chau did not beg for forgiveness. She had no regrets. She understood the harsh realities of a world dominated by men, where women like her, no matter how smart or strong, were always considered weak. But she was not a victim. She fought in her way, put her faith in love despite knowing she could
be betrayed, and faced the consequences without bowing her head. Her profound understanding of the world is truly enlightening.
Her blood fell into the sea, turning into pearls—a symbol of loyalty and pride. As for Trong Thuy, when he realized he had lost the only person who could truly love him, he threw himself into the well in despair.
People may tell this story as a tragedy of a foolish princess, but the truth is not. My Chau is a historical figure and a representative of women who dare to love, fight, and face fate without fear. If history were to repeat itself, she would still choose that path— not resigned, not submissive, but taking her destiny into her own hands.
HA kingdom
AA quiet revolution — not of fire, but of feathers.
A legacy of softness that bloomed in the shadow of war. She believed, even when the world gave her no reason to. And her greatest mistake — was not love, but trusting too fully in hands that held both sword and promise.
Centuries have passed, yet her silence still speaks — of tenderness mistaken for weakness, of faith that outlived betrayal, of the fragile, aching beauty in choosing love, even when it breaks you.
