Seeing that the girl was beautiful, the landowner forced her to be his concubine. The girl refused and firmly refused because she had a lover who was a poor fisherman. That boy worked hard to save every penny to prepare for their wedding day. Because of the girl’s refusion, the landlord exiled her to a deserted island, leaving the girl hungry and exhausted. She was petrified here because of the harsh weather, heavy rain, and storms. The place where the girl is petrified on the deserted island is Trinh Nu cave.
