Li Rong and Pei Wen Xuan married at 18 for political gain, with no affection between them. She used his family background to avoid disaster, and he used her royal status to establish himself. Over time, she fell into excess, while he found love elsewhere. After 20 years of a loveless marriage, they were manipulated into turning against each other, leading to their deaths. However, they wake up back at 18, before their marriage, facing the hardest time of their lives. Pei Wen Xuan seeks Li Rong again, planning to remarry, but with divorce in mind.

In her past life, Chu Yu fled an imperial marriage for Gu Chu Sheng, only to die far from home. Reborn at fifteen and facing the same choice, she instead marries into the doomed Wei family, determined to change their tragic fate. Knowing young Wei Yun would one day rise as the feared “Living Yama,” she vows to stand by him and protect the family's legacy. Unexpectedly, she truly becomes the Wei family's “eldest lady.”

Both explore the lives and growth of side characters, adding depth.

Strong themes of familial bonds and friendship are central to both dramas.

A revenge drama with complicated and intriguing relationship between our leads. Just like how the leads in 'The Double' trusted each other amd worked together to bring down all the corrupted people wish the same for this one.

It's a similar story about revenge. Both leads are aware of their circumstances. Female lead is seeking revenge and male lead is supporting her.

If you like romance, this is it. The soothing and calm vibe definitely will warm your heart and feeling. Love how natural the plot is. How natural ML and FL act to each other. Mostly i love how ML try to restrain himself, keep his feeling in check but still caring about the FL. Not just pursue kind of film. It's greenest flag ML!
Love the positive vibes and how supportive ML here!
Also love how this film is really relatable with real experience in life. Also the cinematography and bgm are top notch

Costume based on the dynasties close to each other
Heavy political intrigues
Redemption
Characters including princesses, crown prince, concubines, empress... and they have storylines.
FL has hesitation in love and trust due to grow-up background.

Both series are historical and fantasy, of course, the stories are different, but I think the actors are beautiful, the atmosphere is clean, and there are many eye-catching effects.
