If you like Pursuit of Jade, then you might like The Road to Glory. Both are historical romance costume dramas starring Zhang Linghe as well as the same screenwriter, Zhou Yue. Both center on a love between high ranking nobility and a commoner, seeking truth and revenge in the midst of war, battles, and palace court intrigue. In The Road to Glory, the male lead rises from the ranks to become powerful while the female lead experiences a fall from grace and goes on a mission for revenge. Their love and alliance is put to the test.
There's not much similarities between them, but just in case if someone want to watch it, the similarities are:
Strong FML
FML is from humble background (her real identity is a God)
ML has a hidden identity (for first couple episodes)
ML is very powerful and highly respected and feared by all (God)
Strategy and politics
As you can imagine from the title of the drama, it's a drama about the feud between ML and FML. Though this drama is highly debatable among viewers for FML 's actions towards ML, but I thought it was reasonable and justified.
I mean, come on, it's feud ! So would it be logical if FML kept being lovey - dovey with the ML? There's misunderstanding, anger, frustration, hatred. So of course she would behave like this. If I were her, I would do the same. I really felt sorry for her.
I enjoyed it.
This drama has a very nice twist that I never imagined. It has nice eye catching costumes, excellent visuals and it has a happy ending. Highly recommended. A must watch. If you like hate to love or love to hate drama, you will enjoy this one.

Similar quality cdramas, scripts are well written. Zhang Ling He is lead in both dramas and both have a strong, independent FL. Both are a bit of a slow burn romance, but leads are pretty much in love and devoted to each other the whole time. Both have a a very equal relationship where leads are both powerful in their own ways and are partners working together. Princess Royal is more centered around political intrigue and maneuvering, where Pursuit of Jade is more slice of life in the first half and politics in second half. IF you enjoyed one would recommend the other, especially if you're a fan of Zhang Ling He!

Strong FML
humble background (though she is a princess, after her family dies, she disguises herself as a maid)
ML hides his identity
ML is very powerful (immortal deity)
War strategies, palace politics
I don't know why this drama has a rating below 8 out of 10, but I really loved the love of the ML towards the FML. He waited for her 1000 years and saw her
going through reincarnation after reincarnation, but he never stopped waiting and watched over her.
If you haven't watched it yet, please do. It's highly recommended and I hope you would love it.
