What Is The Princess and the Pea About?

The premise of The Princess and the Pea without spoilers.

A prince must marry a true princess, so a notice reading “Princess Wanted” is posted. Only a drenched, humble girl appears, far from noble appearance. Determined, the prince travels to distant realms—meeting a corpulent king, a warm‑hearted ruler, and a kingdom of the arts—encountering many beautiful, clever princesses. In the end he discovers the real princess is the rain‑soaked girl who knocked on his door.
