Honestly, I don't know. It could go either way. Maybe some elements are drawn from reality, while others are made up for the sake of the story. Without further research, it's a mystery.
It could have new plotlines or character developments that expand on the original story. Maybe there are more romantic moments or deeper character explorations.

When they got married, the female protagonist held a rooster and expressed her yearning for good luck and a good life in the future. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
