The description of The Scarecrow is basically the plot line of Dead End. Since TS hasn't aired yet, I can't say how similar they actually would be - but if the summary respects the drama storyline... they'll be very much alike.
There is a softness to both the dramas, making them feel very similar, following the opposites make a perfect whole vibe.

Both the chinese dramas are written by the same writer which will empasize on the similar feelings and emotions as well as both of the dramas are "shared universe" series...
The similarities are found only in the male supporting characters: Qi Min/Sui Yuan Hai in *The Pursuit of Jade* and Lu Jiaxue in *The Rise of Ning*. Both share the traits of possessing strength, power, and wealth, yet falling in love with a sincere woman when they suffer a setback. The characters in duo dramas are portrayed similarly in the original novels. Especially the rise of Ning novel, on extra chapter, lu jiaxue and Yi ning have son and hate his father.
