Both dramas are starring Luo Jin and Huang Zhizhong and the plot mainly revolves around their relationship.
In Royal Nirvana Huang Zhizhong plays the Emperor and Luo Jin plays the Crown Prince.
In the Long River their roles are reversed: Luo Jin takes on a role of a real emperor of Qing Dynasty - Kangxi, while Huang Zhizhong plays a righteous governor.
It's quite funny to see the same actors in very different roles, the both dramas highlight their acting range.
The plot is very different, RN is extremely depressing but the LR also has its share of sad moments.
History buffs will enjoy the attention to details in the Long River.
