The story begins during the Sung Dynasty of ancient China. The country is in great chaos due to the infamous Jin Kang Rebellion. Fearing the possible destruction that is sure to ensue, Concubine Liu tearfully entrusts the care of her baby daughter, Princess Yi Fu, to a common citizen named Tang Hui. Tang Hui immediately escapes with the princess to the south. And so, Princess Yi Fu's whereabouts become a mystery.
Now, ten years later, the Tang have returned to power and the great family wishes for all exiled family members to return. But Zi Li is happy with her life. She knows that returning means giving up her love; for a peasant could never court a princess. And courtship between a princess and a palace warrior is equally frowned upon. But that does little to quell the fire that burns inside Zhong Lu—a famed warrior charged with the task of finding and restoring the princess to the throne.
Real Fake Princess is a 15 chapter manua by Yi Huan. It is a very good story, with in depth romance and suspense. It is somewhat confusing at times with various titles, names, and places being used. At times it is confusing as to the relationships of people according to their history and status. But, it is a true love story. The last chapter brought me to tears, and almost made me very mad and disappointed. Yet it does fulfill me with a happy ending. Although not everything is perfect for Zi Li, she does end up happy and that is enough for me.
