  High on the slopes of Mount Latmus in ancient Caria, where the morning mist clung to pine trees and the evening shadows stretched long across the meadows, there lived a young shepherd whose beauty was so extraordinary that it seemed to eclipse the very stars themselves.

  In the ancient kingdom of Dai Viet, during the reign of the Ly Dynasty, there lived four young men whose friendship was so strong it was said to rival the bonds between blood brothers. Their names were Thanh Long (Azure Dragon), Bach Ho (White Tiger), Chu Que (Vermillion Bird), and Huyen Vu (Black Tortoise)—though these were not their birth names, but titles they would earn through their legendary deeds.

• The Tale of the Moon Lady Jul 2, 2025

  

  Long ago, in the time when ten suns blazed simultaneously in the sky, scorching the earth and causing terrible suffering to all living creatures, there lived a skilled archer named Hou Yi, whose courage and marksmanship were legendary throughout the land.

  The ten suns, which were the sons of the Jade Emperor, had grown bored with their celestial duties and decided to appear in the sky all at once instead of taking turns as they were supposed to do. Their combined heat was so intense that rivers dried up, crops withered and died, and people and animals suffered terribly from the unbearable temperature.
