  We report nuclear magnetic resonance studies on the low-doped n-type
copper-oxide Pr_{0.91}LaCe_{0.09}CuO_{4-y} (T_c=24 K) in the superconducting
state and in the normal state uncovered by the application of a strong magnetic
field. We find that when the superconductivity is removed, the underlying
ground state is the Fermi liquid state. This result is at variance with that
inferred from previous thermal conductivity measurement and contrast with that
in p-type copper-oxides with a similar doping level where high-T_c
superconductivity sets in within the pseudogap phase. The data in the
superconducting state are consistent with the line-nodes gap model.
