Both dramas feature an inter-species forbidden romance between two individuals bearing internal scars & trauma who are sparked to be each other's lifelines after an encounter. Male lead is Allen Ren in both and has characters that are demons in both.
In Guangping City, where humans and demons coexist, Ban Xia, a wealthy girl with the rare ability to see demons' true forms, is deemed delusional by her family. After exposing her cousin’s bride as a demon, she’s forced to flee and meets demon hunter Xuan Ye. He helps her see the hidden world more clearly and reveals not all demons are evil. As they investigate her father's mysterious death and other strange events, their bond deepens. But Xuan Ye's buried past and a shocking truth about his identity threaten to tear them apart.
It's a story about a couple who fall in love (but their love is full of conflict). He is a prince obsessed with achieving justice for his own family (And he wants to sit on the king's throne.). And in this attempt he has no qualms about using people for this greater interest. He meets this girl, this warrior, who he secretly paid for her training (she has martial powers). She doesn't know that he secretly trained her (that he is her ruler). She has a lot of strength of spirit, courage and mercy. He's going to need her help.
He has an illness caused in him by his enemies. However, she is poisoned (she is also sick), but he was the one who caused it and she doesn't know. But even when she finds out, she continues to want the best for him and will act to help him get a cure for his illness. (but there will be misunderstandings in this story. He will think that she betrayed him, but she is trying to save his life. He, at a certain point, will think that she died. (And then there is the most famous scene in the book, which is in beginning of the novel, something that happens later on: he goes to her (supposed tomb) and takes her corpse (which he thinks is hers), (And he even carries her corpse.), in despair because he thinks she died.
There is a lot of intrigue in this story and martial fights, and war (and their love in the middle of it all). In the end they stay together. But Chinese audiences tend to hate characters like that (wishing there is no happy ending). But... I really want them to keep it as in the book, for there to be a happy ending. I love this conflicting couple, but who, at the end of the day, will be loyal to the love that unites them.

both shows have themes of folklore & possession within a historical setting.
in TDHR, Ban Xia, the female lead, is seen by others as mentally unstable because she can see demons, just like Yeo Ri, who rejected her fate as a shaman despite being spiritually gifted bc of the backlash by her townsfolk. The male lead, Xuan Ye, is a demon hunter assigned to maintain order in Guangping City, which, like the haunted palace in THP, is plagued by malevolent spirits. But Xuan Ye, much like Yun Gap, is secretly connected to the dark forces he’s supposed to fight (he’s suspected of being a demon himself) which mirrors Yun Gap’s possession by the Imoogi.
Their partnership in solving supernatural cases is similar to the the alliance between Yun Gap, Yeo Ri, and King Yi Seong as they unravel the palace’s tragic past tied to vengeful spirits.
