The Tale of Phạm Tử Hư Visiting Heaven is the tenth story of Nguyễn Dữ's Truyền kỳ mạn lục collection,[1] published in the second volume.

After failing the imperial examinations many times, a 40-year-old Tử Hư moves to the capital and stays by the West Lake to study.

Although he does not know how long Tử Hư can live, he informs him that his attainment of the imperial exam is guaranteed, although it is delayed because of his past arrogance.

Tử Hư and Dương Trạm discuss about the current corrupt officials, with the teacher claiming that karma is inevitable and wrongdoers will have to pay eventually.

He is taken to heaven and sees the White Jade Capital, the Silver River and the Imperial Palace where the Supreme Deity rules.
