To avoid that cruel fate, Athanasia decides she must build a relationship based on affection between herself and her new father to survive.
Official synopsis[]
The beautiful Athanasia was killed at the hands of her own biological father, Claude de Alger Obelia, the cold-blooded emperor! It’s just a silly bedtime story… until one woman wakes up to suddenly find she’s become that unfortunate princess! She needs a plan to survive her doomed fate, and time is running out. Will she go with Plan A, live as quietly as possible without being noticed by the infamous emperor? Plan B, collect enough money to escape the palace? Or will she be stuck with Plan C, sweet-talking her way into her father’s good graces?!

The webnovel[]
The novel first began publishing on June 23, 2016, and ended with 219 chapters in three printed volumes.
The webtoon's story differs from the original novel. The novel is focused on Athanasia's family, romance, and growth, while the webtoon focuses on the familial relationship between Athanasia and Claude while reducing romantic aspects. Beginning with episode 30 (the debutante ball), the webtoon's story begins to diverge in earnest.
