˚˖𓍢👒🪻⋆｡°

Anh Minh was born in a middle class, traditional Vietnamese household, with her father working as a modest and respected office worker and her mother a conventional housewife. From an early age, Anh Minh’s life has been shaped by conservative values, constantly told that a woman’s value lies in having the will to sacrifice all her hopes and dreams, settle down and prioritize the family’s needs over her own - like her mother. They’ve continuously discouraged her desire to pursue certain passions, such as: getting a master’s degree in political science, because they said that it was “unsuitable” for a woman. 

However, instead of being discouraged, Anh Minh is greatly motivated. She is intelligent, fierce and extremely proud of who she is and what she can achieve. While others may bend due to the heavy amount of criticism, Anh Minh does not back down and makes it her number one goal to succeed, proving her mother and father wrong, despite the lack of support. Anh Minh can be described as extremely dedicated, sometimes too stubborn, to whatever she sets her mind on. Her pride pushes her to extend her limits, updating herself non-stop. This also means that she would detach herself from potential distractions to focus on her goals only, even if it means removing a special part of her emotional life. Anh Minh’s strong personality contradicts strongly to societal expectations, which causes most of her struggles on her journey to success, but that only further sustenance Minh’s incentive to “make it” in her career. She is currently an office worker for a large media conglomerate - this acts as both a motivation and pressure for Anh Minh to produce good quality content at all times.

Physical: She is portrayed as a young-adult Vietnamese woman with long black hair and a slim figure.

Prologue: 

Anh Minh and Quang Anh met through mutual friends as they went to the same university. Quang Anh was a senior and Anh Minh was a freshman. Despite their age gap, the two quickly caught feelings for each other. Their personality perfectly compensated for each other, a dynamic of a girl with strong sense of independence and confidence with a guy who balances her competitiveness with his civil, playful and affectionate manner. It was obvious from the beginning of the relationship their commitment and devotion towards one another, and the love only grew more and more. Their love story quickly took a turn, however,  when Anh Minh graduated three years after Quang Anh from college. Despite the fact that it was causing detrimental effects upon her health, Anh Minh instantly threw herself to  finding jobs and pushing through her limits. At one point, Anh Minh started to neglect the connection with her lover, which inevitably lead to their seperation. Although Quang Anh was devastated, he did not try to hold her back because he recognized that she should be concentrating on her future at that moment instead of the relationship. He knows how ambitious and smart she is, and even after they broke up, he still looks up to her every day, watching and "caring" for her from afar.
