A beautiful fairy from heaven named Hoa Dao occasionally encountered the music and looked for a performer. They fell in love afterwards and she could not return to heaven. The marriage between the human and fairy was made eventually. The couple had one son.
The Lord knew Hoa Dao escaped from heaven and married with the human. He angrily recalled her back to heaven. Before leaving, she left her breasts to her husband to feed the baby with her breasts milk. The breasts gradually grew up and became the twin mountain like the mother's breasts fully strain with milk. That twin mountain was named Nui Doi or Nui Co Tien.
