To clear her reputation and win back her love, the princess sneaks out of the palace to embark on an adventure, discovering that the situation is more complicated than she first imagined.

"I have had the Princess Adventures story in my mind for a long time. It's sort of a tale that is more relatable to modern youngsters. The title's protagonist is an adorable and straightforward woman. When she falls for someone, she takes action without hesitation," says Yu, 41.

Statistics from broadcasting tracker CSM Media Research show that the Chinese TV drama ran for 42 episodes per series in 2018 on average.

Considering that dramas on Netflix are much shorter, Princess Adventures recounts "a comparatively simple story" to be told in just six episodes, Yu adds.
