Tradition

When a king tries to break her loyalty to Domi, she uses a ruse to escape his demands. The story ends with her finding her blinded husband and leaving Baekje with him.

Legacy

Her personal name is not preserved; Lady Domi is a conventional designation. Though recorded in the Samguk Sagi, the account is usually approached as a moral tale rather than a secure biography.
