Game description from Romhacking.net:

This is a completely original RPG designed for Genesis, developed in China. Its actual legality is dubious, but since it’s not a hack or ripoff of something, I guess it’s just as legal as, say, your favorite Color Dreams game.

You play the part of a spoiled young prince who longs to experience a normal life. You sneak out of the palace and switch clothes with a commoner who looks like you, and proceed to enjoy your life among the poor folk. Once you tire of it and try to go back, the guards won’t let you in the palace. You’re just some pauper kid, right? Well that’s how the story begins, maybe. I don’t read Chinese too well. But basically, yeah. Apparently you go to explore the outside world and learn of some kind of ancient evil that threatens to destroy the kingdom, or eehhh something like that. It’s got a pretty cool premise though, you’ve got to hand it to them.
