Both are ancient costume dramas starring Zhang Wan Yi as MLs. Both have hidden identities of main characters, mystery and some interesting premises.

- the main couple stay strong together in hardships

These two dramas have
- main couple as husband and wife and new spouses relationship

The humour is the same. They both have serious plots and geeat performances but out of nowhere you are laughing with tears in your eyes.

Both the dramas have independent and feminist female leads who are actually smart. (also funny) The main characters relationship begins with a fake/marriage of convenience and gradually develop feelings for each other. Kind of like a slow burn but not too slow.

These are Chinese historical dramas that have some similar vibes.
Female lead characters are strong, smart and independent in every way.
Male lead characters are mysterious and strong characters.
The couple dynamics are very interesting.

In both dramas, the heroine is portrayed as a capable and strong-willed woman, far removed from the typical delicate or shy girl. She exudes confidence and strength, and her fiery determination leads her to confront the hero with the intention of killing him. However, a pivotal incident causes her to lose her memory, drastically altering her behavior. The once-powerful and assertive heroine transforms into a delicate version of herself, her formidable persona reduced to that of a gentle bud.

Both heroes, who are military officers, find themselves intertwined in a growing love affair with the heroine. Despite the turbulent circumstances and the heroine's memory loss, a deep connection begins to develop between them, setting the stage for a complex yet heartfelt romance. The contrast between her past strength and newfound adds layers to their relationship.

Both these dramas are about smart female leads and capable young lords. The stories hold no similarities yet I feel that someone who liked one of these dramas might like the other.
