Intro. Lam Tuyet Nhi was born into a poor family; her father died early, her mother was chronically ill, and her younger brother was still a child. In those troubled times, only men were accepted as laborers in exchange for food, while women were despised and not allowed. To feed her family, she cut off her long hair, bound her chest, and disguised herself as a man with the name “Lam Tuan .” She constantly feared being exposed, for if her secret was revealed, she would not only lose her livelihood but also become a target of ridicule in a society that valued men over women. Yet her mischievous nature made it hard for her to stay quiet. Among the weary workers, she often joked, nudged shoulders, or teased others to cover her tension. Sometimes she cleverly shifted heavy tasks onto them with playful tricks. Everyone believed “Lam Tuan” was just a skinny but lively boy—no one suspected that behind the cheeky smile was a girl struggling to survive in a world full of injustice.
