Dong Lan Xue (2023)

- Similar dynamic between the leads but roles reversed while still being role reversal XD (In ZGZZS FL is the princess and ML is her guard while in DLX ML is the prince and FL is his maid/guard and tutor)
- Femdom x Malesub
- Both are very steamy with women taking the lead
- Gender Role Reversal
- One of the leads is royalty (in ZGZZS it's the FL (princess royal) while in DLX it's the ML (unfavored prince))
- "Us against the world" dynamic
- Master/servant relationship
- Power couple. Strong (and badass asf) FL x Strong ML
- Mature FL x Naïve ML
- Same lead actor and actress playing the main couple

Both are dark romance dramas with amoral and possessive MLs, and the FLs are very focused on their respective missions, which involve using the ML. Neither are the most healthy relationships, though the MLs get significant character development. There's a lot of suffering and manipulation, as the leads are not always in positions in which they are powerful. The FLs are a bit like mentors for the prince MLs, though they have their own trauma to deal with. Both are good shows if you want an intense story without black/white morality and romance between two troubled people.

- Similar dynamic between the leads but roles reversed while still being role reversal XD (In SotSS FL is a sect leader and ML is her guard while in DLX ML is the prince and FL is his maid/guard and tutor)
- Femdom x Malesub
- Both are very steamy with women taking the lead
- Gender Role Reversal
- "Us against the world" dynamic
- Master/servant relationship
- Power couple. Strong FL x Strong ML
- Dark(er) romance vibes

both are short dramas with a revenge plot
both have romantic elements too
the time slots are different, yet there are royal families and their plots involved

- Both MLs are princes
- Kinda unhinged, dark romance leads
- FL saves ML early on and he's indebted to her
- Master/Servant dynamic (in MZ with FL as the master and ML as the servant and reversed in DLX)
- Cold, ruthless FLs
- Puppy-like MLs
- Both are short (about an hour each)

- Revenge
- Angst
- Leads have an "Us against the world" dynamic
- Strong FL x Strong ML (FL from DLX is a martial artist while in RftA she is not)
- FLs are no damsels in distress and take control of their life, story and revenge.
- Both leads are smart, cunning and manipulative (similars attract)
- Girlboss x Malewife vibes
- Mature romance with both as eager participants
- Sibling rivalry
- Strangers to allies to lovers (two broken people coming together for a common goal and falling in love)
- Absolutely smitten, devoted, supportive and slightly (adorably) jealous MLs
- One lead is unfavored and bullied within their family while the other lost their family

if you see the tags they are almost same they both are short length series and based on fl's revenge but it's just that provoke is in the chinese republican era while dong lan xue is in qing dynasty

- One of the leads is a royal (Prince ML in DLX, Empress FL in FJ)
- The other lead works under the royal (Maid FL in DLX, General in FJ)
- Strong FL x Strong ML
- Cold FL x Cold ML
- Gender Role Reversal
- Wintery aesthetic
- Similar steamy scene

The main difference is that in DLX the roles are reversed from FJ while still remaining role reversal. DLX's FL is a fighter while in FJ her fighting power is limited. DLX is revenge focused with morally grey leads while that is not the case in FJ.

Both are mini historical dramas that have intrigue and are a bit dark. They are well-produced and have some action scenes. Both have a reserved but proactive FL who gets the plot going. Unlike Dong Lan Xue, the romance in Legend of Yunze is between two women and is downplayed.

Both have an historical palace setting with a slight twist of the real world (secondary transmigrated character vs. set in a novel) and a complicated anti-hero ML and FL with excellent chemistry in a slow burn romance. Both FLs have a very close relationship with the SFL who is part of the love triangle/reverse harem of the FL's love interest.

- FL saves ML and ML is grateful first then falls in love with FL;
- FL becomes ML's teacher;
- ML protects FL;
- ML and FL are evil/demons

- Royal MC that's low-ranking and unfavored (emperor FL in DaD, prince ML in DLX)
- Other MC is a palace servant (eunuch in DaD, head maid in DLX)
- MC's mentor and love interest is jaded and cruel but deep down kinder than they appear (ML in DaD, FL is DLX)
- Master x Servant dynamic
- Smart and strong power couple
- "Us against the world"
- Intense and kinda melancholic chemistry
- Revenge
- Palace setting & politics
- Intense and thrilling
- Very beautiful and well-crafted miniseries

DLX is kinda like if DaD had the roles reversed, the royal lead actually *wanted* to rule, and they were in it together since the get-go.

Both have amazing actors as main leades.
Both stories are interesting and have a good deep feeling. You get intrigued of what is going to happen next.
The production is so good, everything is well made.
