Who Made Me a Princess started as a web novel by Plutus, which later inspired a webtoon/manhwa drawn by Spoon. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the manhwa’s premise as:
The story of Athanasia, forsaken princess of the Obelian Empire, ends with her execution at the hands of her own father–except, did it? Her tragic tale is the plot of the novel The Lovely Princess. But now, a modern woman who read the book has just woken up as baby Athanasia herself, filled with her memories and knowledge of the story she’s stuck in! Determined to survive her fate, infant Athanasia embarks on this new life with a plan: avoid attention and horde valuables to fund her escape. When her plan goes awry, she suddenly needs to charm her way into the good graces of her father, the beautiful tyrant emperor, so he doesn’t kill her again!
iQIYI and KuaiKan are involved in the production (the non-animation production type) of the Who Made Me a Princess donghua. The director is Zhang Yingying while the animation studio is Colored Pencil Animation.
The web novel is available in English on Tapas.
The original Chinese version of the trailer was released in 2023 and is labelled as a pilot trailer by Bilibili.
