In many Oriental legends, Ho Ly Tinh is a mystical and malevolent spirit known for her ability to transform into a stunningly beautiful woman. With her enchanting appearance, she lures unsuspecting young men, captivating them with her charm and allure. However, beneath this beguiling facade lies a sinister intent. Ho Ly Tinh preys on her victims, ultimately devouring their livers or hearts to sustain her own dark powers.
Over time, the term “Ho Ly Tinh” has evolved in modern vernacular to describe individuals, often women, who are seen as home-wreckers—those who use their allure to disrupt relationships and cause emotional turmoil.
