Once upon a time, there was a young man named Chu Dong Tu who lived in extreme poverty with his father. They were so poor that they shared a single loincloth. When the father died, Chu Dong Tu, being a filial son, used the loincloth to bury his father and lived naked by the river, fishing to survive.
One day, the royal boats of Princess Tien Dung approached. Ashamed of his condition, Chu Dong Tu quickly buried himself under the sand to hide. The Princess, seeing the beautiful scenery, ordered her servants to set up a curtained tent right on that spot to bathe.
As she poured water over herself, the sand washed away, revealing the naked man underneath. The Princess was shocked but then realized it was fate arranged by Heaven. She decided to marry the poor fisherman, ignoring the gap in their social class.
The King was furious and disowned Tien Dung. The couple lived simply, trading goods with merchants. Later, Chu Dong Tu met a hermit who taught him the way of immortality and gave him a magic stick and a hat.
Using the magic items, they created a magnificent citadel overnight. The King thought they were starting a rebellion and sent troops to attack. Not wanting to fight her father, Tien Dung and Chu Dong Tu ascended to Heaven together, leaving behind a vast swamp known as "One Night Swamp" (Dam Da Trach).
