Palace arranged marriage. Right from episode 1. Male Lead is cool calm, strategist, fights well and warrior at battle field. Male lead doesnt put much thoughts into marriage nor male-female relationships. Male lead is guarded against female lead, distrustful at the start, knowing female lead was planted in thru marraige as a spy for the enemy (palace). Female lead has own opinions, strong will but crafty enough to survive. Lively, and lovable. Female lead who is more physically affectionate and vocal about how they feel, including confessing to Male Lead first
Marriage then divorce. Secrets and fantastical elements. Heart wrenching moments. Great otp and chemistry.

-arranged marriage
-fun side characters
-Even the posters look similar lol
Overall, these shows give off a similar vibe where the stakes aren't too high but the romance is strong.

It is also an similar type of concept, where emperor arranged the marriage. Which where the Main female lead and the General main lead became an married couple. And it is also the same role "General" that fights well and warrior at battle field. I have watched 5 episodes of it, is REALLY good, this drama feels a little bit different from the other types of shows, is really exciting, it makes you want to watch more without feeling like an long winded drama. The General is not very gentleman at the start, but once he get more closer with his wife he will become more gentle and sweet I believe. And the main lead actors are Caesar wu (yes that right, he acted in the Meteor Garden 2018) and Tang Min.

The original series where the characters are more fleshed out. Watch to get a clear idea of who’s who.

Both female lead are high born loyal who can see the future and tries to combat against what the bad future holds. Eventually, their male leads help them out. In both dramas, male leads also think that the female lead is part of their suffering from their past which leads to misunderstanding.

The relationship between the leads - how the FL was fearing for her life initially because of the ML and how the ML was suspicious of the FL. How the FL is always getting into trouble and gets out of it. A 2nd ML that loves the FL.

I can't spoil TSP. But once you watch it, you'll understand why I recommended TSP. Also, I need 100 characters and I don't have any more to say, as I don't want to spoil TSP, so I am just adding extra words. Tehee!

This had a similar "feel good" atmosphere about it. They are both gentle and cute, with cute FL characters.

Both stories have :
-ML seems cold and ruthless but is actually really sweet and kind
-FL has a "sleep" problem and the only cure is the ML by her side
-ML is involved in telling stories : in SP, he is the narrator of the story and invents stories for his wife, in PL, he is a producer of fantasy movies/animations

Both the main lead actress have nightmares regarding the future (where they might able to change)
Both are traditional chinese ancient historical drama
The two dramas are quite funny and sweet, with some sad and dramatic moments mixed Both actors & actresses both are good acting, great chemistry (sure, you never disappointed about this), pretty costumes (i'm jealous of the female chinese traditional costumes so pretty) :c
BOTH THE female lead are so cute and pretty, especially their smiles. Even the music and lyrics are great, LOVE IT ALOT. :)
recommended alot.

stone-faced male lead
historical

This is a drama that you can re-watch.
After watching the epilogue I must concur with other viewers that Zheng Ye Cheng raised the bar for the role of General(XY). His chemistry with Hu Yi Xuan (CY)is well portrayed in many heart wrenching scenes.CY is witty, adorable and trusting which touched XY’s cold heart.
