Princess Daifuku

The original title of this book was "My Name is Dafu"; it was renamed "Princess Dafu" upon publication

In her childhood, she was a foolish girl ridiculed by others; upon growing up, she became a princess who endured great suffering. Although she was a princess, she remained a fool. A calamity distanced her from wealth and nobility, yet it also restored her wisdom. Great love! Great hatred! Great suffering! Great fortune!

Princess Jing Yongfu of the Jing Kingdom, nicknamed Dafu, has been mentally challenged since birth due to the effects of poison. This condition has caused her mother to be despised by King Jing. When Dafu turned ten, an unexpected event in the palace suddenly restored her clarity, transforming her from a fool into a genius. Subsequently, Dafu seized the opportunity to escape Jing Kingdom with her mother, who had been relegated to the cold palace, and they began a carefree rural life in the neighboring Xie Kingdom. However, the sudden visit of Prince Li Yi of Xie Kingdom disrupted Dafu's peaceful and happy days. With the prince's favor and her unwillingness to lead a mundane life, Dafu began to meddle in the affairs of the Xie dynasty, which nearly cost her life. With the help of King Li Fei of Xie Kingdom, Dafu escaped the palace once more, but she could no longer escape the affections of Li Fei, who had long been enamored with her.
