Both are historical dramas with a lush, beautiful look and feel, both based upon operas. The MLs are of higher status than the FLs who are orphans and entertainers (musician vs. theatre performer). Both FLs are intelligent and quick to solve problems that come their way. Both dramas are female driven and have court politics , friendship, and extended family at their center.
Okay! In account of the origin of the plot I would say that there's nothing comparable between two the two dramas. It's a different dynasty, different storyline but one thing strongly is attached to both dramas which is the female centered plot and the sisterhood between the leads. I you like ADOS I'm sure you would like Zhen Huan as both stories portrayed a Zhao Pan'er and Zhen Huan trying to find their ways and never admit defeat alongside protecting there closed ones with all it takes!
The two leads are really alike in strength whiteout wielding a sword and smartness in their business (Zhao Pan'er) and harem (Zhen Huan).

Similarities:
- Female centered, strong female leads
- One of the FL also was sold to a brothel because a crime of her father
- Women fighting together to survive and succeed in the patriarchal society
- Amazing cinematography, direction, acting, beautiful and meaningful dialoges.
- Weak men causing trouble to amazing women, even the actor is the same (ok, in Marvelous Women he is not so bad as Ouyang Xu lol)

In both dramas, the main male lead (ML) is the star of an investigation and enforcement force with many powerful political players seeking to manipulate or neutralize him. He's sucked into the middle, until the main female lead (FL) inspires him to find a way out
In both, the FL has her own ambitions and desires for her life that the ML is happy to support and pursue. The FLs take their fates into their own hands and come up with their own strategies.
A Dream of Splendor however is better produced and is less cruel and sadistic. Also a little less romantic and a bit more focused on female friendship than a main romance.
