Morphology
The meaning 'an imaginary or unreal life' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fantasy' (an imagined scenario) with 'life' (one's existence); there is no idiomatic shift. The simple noun+noun compositional pattern is common and cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase fantasy life paints a picture of someone living inside their imagination, with fantasy meaning made-up stories and life meaning how they live. So it means an 'imaginary' life a person creates to escape from real problems.
