I want to know too. It's okay if it's in modern era.
You should definitely watch Who Rules the World if you haven't already! It has a very similar plot where the male lead is a prince who pretends to be weak, sick, and powerless, while secretly hiding both his true abilities and his identity in the martial arts world, where he's one of the strongest. If you love mastermind and hidden identity plots, you'll absolutely enjoy this one.
You should also check out The King's Avatar. It's a modern drama starring the same actor, and it also revolves around a hidden identity. The male lead is an absolute genius!
Here are some other hidden identity dramas I've watched and enjoyed:
- The Untamed - Word of Honor - Princess and the Werewolf - The Longest Promise - Douluo Continent - Love and Redemption - Love of the Divine Tree - Legend of Zang Hai - Love in the Clouds - Mysterious Lotus Casebook - Shadow Love - How Dare You - Legend of the Female General - Moonlight Mystique
And don't miss the newly released Veil of Shadows. It will literally blow you away with its plot twists, background score, storyline, suspense, and overall execution. It's one of those dramas that keeps you hooked from start to finish!
Can anyone recommend dramas with a plot where the male lead appears weak, powerless, or insignificant, but is actually the mastermind behind everything or has a hidden identity? I absolutely love these kinds of plots!❤️

When will the last 3 episodes be released on iQIYI? 😭 They're still locked for me even though I have the Standard subscription. When will they be unlocked?!!!
Oh yess! I was actually rewatching LITC before this drama was released❤️ I've been wanting to see HMH in another powerful role ever since Ji Bozai, and this drama gave me exactly what I was hoping for.
I've scrolled through so many comments and still haven't found a single negative one about this drama. That alone says a lot about how incredible it is🔥 I'm genuinely impressed! 2026 has been giving us some amazing dramas and this one is definitely one of the best❤️ If you're someone looking for your next watch don't miss this one... you'll understand the hype once you start✨
