Helmed by the same director. The focus is on a strong heroine who has brains and beauty but started off in a poor social position. Using her intelligence and cunning both heroines outwit their rivals and rise steadily within the palace to a position of power. They are realistic but never cruel.

ML and FL aim to reform the country. LoLZ is better than TSoG because it's less confusing.

I think this is ZLY's first main role and she did it well.

The story of LuZhen closely resembles that of Yanxi Palace because both FLs started as a palace servants and climbed their way to the top using their skills. Both FLs are smart and able to stand up for themselves.

Same actress who portrait MING LAN, but with different temper. Lu Zhen is more upfront front the start.

"To escape her cruel stepmother, Lu Zhen enters the palace as an attendant. She was quickly promoted through the ranks for her pottery-making skill. During this time, she captures the heart of crown prince Gao Zhan. However, she can never be with him as social status and jealous enemies work against her at every turn. She devotes herself to politics and helps Gao Zhan defeat a coup d'etat. Though Gao Zhan can not make her his empress, he bestows her with the highest position in the land, the female prime minister."

gao wei who is suppose to be the cousin of lanling and the antagonist in prince of lan ling is the adopted son of lu zhen in legend of lu zhen. i would say this is a prequel to prince of lanling. it's a great drama, so underrated! watch it and you will fall in love with the lead male, BUT don't read wiki, never

Both are historical dramas in which the girl works as a maid in the palace and falls in love with a prince. Both dramas are full of drama and political intrigue.
