Both are ancient costume dramas starring Zhang Wan Yi as MLs. Both have hidden identities of main characters, manipulation and some interesting premises.
From same novel writer
Strong ML, Strong FL
Let's say both have writers same writing style and it's more focosed in Main CP's story than extra thing.
ML in both is prince
These two dramas are
- ancient costume dramas
- main leads are married to each other for a reason at first
- developing feelings for each other
- the main couple stay strong together in hardships
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.
The dramas are differents because The Story of Minglan feels more gritty in some ways. Yet, there are similarities in that both the females leads are smart and astute while the male lead is a capable lord.
We also get to see these couple in their domestic lives.
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.
