The latest buzz in the animation industry is the upcoming donghua adaptation of the widely beloved manhwa, Who Made Me a Princess. This sensational news was accompanied by the release of a new trailer, much to the excitement of fans worldwide. Studio Colored Pencil Animation has taken the reins of this project, promising an adaptation that will bring to life the intricate details and mesmerizing story of the original work. The donghua is eagerly anticipated to make its debut this year, marking a significant milestone for the beloved manhwa.
Originally a Korean novel penned by Pluto and vividly illustrated by Spoon, Who Made Me a Princess first saw light as a manhwa published by CARROTOON and serialized on Ridibooks.

The manhwa has been licensed for print by Seven Seas Entertainment, which offers the following synopsis: The tale unfolds with Athanasia, a forsaken princess of the Obelian Empire, facing execution by her own father’s hands—a story that supposedly ends with her death. However, an unexpected twist occurs as a modern woman, familiar with Athanasia’s tragic story through the novel The Lovely Princess, finds herself reincarnated as the infant Athanasia, armed with memories and knowledge of her grim fate. Determined to sidestep her demise, she devises a plan to stay under the radar and amass wealth for her escape. But when her plan derails, Athanasia is forced to seek the favor of her father, the feared yet striking emperor, in hopes of avoiding her fate a second time.
The first teaser trailer for the donghua adaptation of Who Made Me a Princess was made available on the IQIYI platform, sparking widespread anticipation and excitement. However, it has not yet been released on YouTube, keeping international fans in eager suspense.
