The only similarity is that the FL joins the army disguised as a male to make their own achievements as a woman.
Both war genre, both cross-dressing, strong FL.

Feng Miao Jun, a princess of the fallen Anxia Kingdom, crosses paths with Yun Ya, a cruel master from Wei. Despite initial distrust, their fates intertwine. Together with Master Mo Ti Zhun and Saintess Han Yue, they become close allies in their battle against the Heavenly Demons. Through trials, love, and mutual support, they grow into powerful beings capable of facing all challenges.
Liang Chen Mei Jin is a female-centered historical drama set in the Ming Dynasty, following the story of Gu Jin Chao, a resilient woman who is given a second chance at life through rebirth. After a tragic past, she awakens in her younger body, determined to rewrite her fate and take control of her destiny. Surrounded by multiple male leads with varying loyalties and intentions, Gu Jin Chao navigates a web of palace intrigue, family conflict, and emotional entanglements. With her intelligence and inner strength, she rises against the constraints of a patriarchal society, challenging not only her enemies but the expectations placed upon women of her time. The drama blends romance, revenge, and political power plays, all set against the backdrop of lavish costumes and the intricate beauty of the Ming court. Ideal for fans of strong female protagonists and reincarnation narratives, Liang Chen Mei Jin promises a gripping tale of empowerment, love, and second chances.
Feels similar as in-
1. Female lead disguising as a man
2. Fl being a powerful general with military achievements.
3. Fl (sort of) betrayed by someone she trusted
4. Change of identity

If you enjoy cross-dressing in a political setting with a theme of female empowerment, I highly recommend Dominion and Devotion. Although it's a 12-minute drama, it looks very high budget, and the pacing of the storyline is smooth, too.
Spoiler: the ending might not appeal to everyone, though there's extra content that could make the ending better

Both FLs disguise as men and become generals in the army. Both MLs are stoic but kind hearted generals who learn FL's secret. Both have a scene in which ML encounters FL in a bath and she tries to hide from him so he doesn't discover she's female.
Both our female leads are very strong. One comes from unknown background, living with the lowest identity in the empire. One comes from noble background but forced to build themselves back up with another identity.
Princess agents follows a girl with various secrets; she doesn’t remember who she was and must survive the brutal nobles’ harrassment as a lowly maid. Her unusual martial art potential stirs the interest of a prince, leading them to depend on each other while the political powers sway in different directions.
Legend of the female general is about a great general who took the place of her brother and earned military merits. She is betrayed by her cunning family and is thrown to Yuning temple with blinded eyes. She escapes half-dead and joins the military camp in Yezhou, lead by Xiao Jue (man who’s family was framed by the female lead’s brother as someone who is incompetent).

novel-wise, kinda same: was previously married in prev life, wrongfully killed, ml and fl are both cunning strategies. they also exist in the same universe! both from the warring states period:
TLFG - The State of Wei
TD - The State of Yan
but TD is a VERY slow burn romance. they didnt even had that much of an interaction until like c84 or something. but still, check it out!

• Both dramas have a strong and gutsy female lead who isn’t afraid to break rules.
• The heroines step into worlds dominated by men (military academy vs. imperial college) and prove themselves.
• There’s a hint of disguised identity / going against societal expectations which makes things fun to watch.
• Romance with a high-status male lead who starts off either proud or aloof but eventually softens up.
• Light-hearted and comedic moments balance out the historical setting.
• Both are about growth, confidence, and showing everyone that the heroine can do just as well (if not better) than the guys.
