On the evening of August 19, while Duong Mich was improvising on the red carpet of W magazine's annual event with dozens of other Chinese stars, the drama " synth Van Tu" starring her also exploded on social media when episode 20 was broadcast on CCTV-8 station.
According to Khuc Van, the rating (viewership rate) of the 20th internship period of Born of a Thousand People reached 4.0903%, setting a record for the film with the highest real-time rating on CCTV-8 in 2025, and ranked 2nd in the history of CCTV-8 after I am a Criminal Police (2024).
On the social network Weibo, the keyword "Duong Mich acting in a royal poem" climbed to the top of the trending search trend. The climax in the episode became a hot topic.
In episode 20, Thien Nguu Mieu village was attacked by the poor, many villagers were killed and captured. In a chaotic situation, Ninh Tu Tu (Duong Mich) bravely stood up to negotiate with the fat, taking himself as a hostage so that the villagers could release him. When he felt unconvinced, Tu Tu even put a knife in his neck and threatened with his life.
When Tu Tu was about to be escorted away, her husband Phong Dai Cuoc (Au Hao) arrived in time to rescue her, controlled the leader and helped Tu Tu retreat safely.
In this climax, Duong Mich received many compliments when she showed the determination of a small woman with a shaky voice, but her eyes were steadfast and ready to take risks in exchange for the lives of the villagers.
Many opinions say that Ninh Tu Tu is the most impressive role in Duong Mich's career to date.
In recent years, Duong Mich has often caused controversy over her acting, the series of films "The 80/20 Law of Love", "The Red-crowned Red-Hoded Lake: The Red-Hoded Star", "Harbin 1944", "There's nothing that a hotpot can't solve" because she's a failure in the main roles.
The success of "Seven Nights of a down" seems to have helped Duong Mich "revive" and be recognized by the audience for her ability.
