Not that anon, but in the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, the Jeweled Branch of Hourai really was a fake, and that he really did try to trick Kaguya-hime. She believed him wholeheartedly until three workmen burst in and demanded payment for the jeweled branch they had worked on for so long, and so he went away in shame. Here's one version, though it has no specific names; every suitor is just referred to as a prince. I'm sure that there are other, more complete works online.
