* GoodPeopleHaveGoodSex:
** During her marriage to Từ Hải, Kiều engages in this with him. In a GenderFlip, the narration likens him to a phoenix, with her sitting astride him like a dragon. Dragons and phoenixes are, respectively, metaphors for kings and queens, men and women. After being used as a SexSlave and an object bought and sold for so long, Kiều finally has agency and calls the shot in their loving, mutually affectionate relationship.
** Played with in the ending: Kiều believes herself to be DefiledForever. Therefore, she is no longer "good" and cannot engage in "good sex" with Kim.
** The sex(ual assault) Kiều endures at the green pavilions are nothing but miserable experiences for her, no matter how she acts during it.
