The Story of the Cotton Tree

The Story of the Cotton Tree (chữ Hán: 木棉樹傳, Mộc miên thụ truyện) is a Vietnamese legend told in Truyền kỳ mạn lục by Nguyễn Dữ in the 16th century.

[2] Trình Trung Ngộ is a handsome and rich tradesman from Bắc Hà coming to Nam Xang Market to do business.

One night, he makes acquaintance to a strange girl named Nhị Khanh, the granddaughter of a noble in the Eastern village.

Seeking to live her life to the fullest, she and Trung Ngộ make out all night on a boat, with her writing two poems to commemorate the encounter.

More specifically, this story is distinctly similar to The Record of the Peony Table Lamp in the second volume of Qu You's collection.
