Veil of Shadows

月鳞绮纪 ‧ Drama ‧ 2026
According to legend, in order to obtain terrible power, Dongfang Qing Cang of the Moon Tribe became an emotionless monster. He killed his father, seized the position of Moon Supreme and led an army of 100,000 Moon Tribe soldiers on a path of devastation. Shuiyuntian (the immortal fairy realm), Cangyan Sea (the Moon Tribe), and Yunmeng Lake (the mortal world) were in grave danger.

To save the world and stop Dongfang Qing Cang and his army, the first God of War of Shuiyuntian destroyed her primordial spirit. Dongfang Qing Cang’s army and primordial spirit were sealed and his body was locked away in Haotian Tower under the immortal bonds of the Haotian Matrix. However, if his primordial spirit was restored and Dongfang Qing Cang were to break free from his tower, the world would be in danger once more. Legend says that only the Goddess of Xishan can prevent this catastrophe, but she vanished without a trace.

Veil of Shadows and Wan Hua Shi Jie are similar in that both feature powerful, intelligent female leads navigating supernatural worlds filled with danger, deception, and hidden agendas. Lu Wu Yi, a nine-tailed fox in disguise, seeks to capture a demon while uncovering others’ motives, whereas Su Lu Xia travels through multiple manhua worlds to punish wrongdoers and maintain universal balance. Both stories blend fantasy, romance, and action, highlighting themes of justice, transformation, and emotional complexity. Though Veil of Shadows leans more into wuxia and myth, and Wan Hua Shi Jie into isekai-style revenge, they share a core focus on female empowerment and strategic battles against evil.

If you like both the main actors, then watch Rebirth for you. Both dramas have romance and historical themes. Though Rebirth for you wasn't wuzia, it was still good.

Live Long and Prosper is similar to Veil of Shadows because both drama is fantasy genre and has martial arts.
Recommended by Suz_Suz
the depth of plot (not the plot itself) feels the same, tho VoS is a slightly lighter watch. Both have angst and power-leads and visually it feels a little similar

If you enjoyed the chemistry between Chen Du Ling and Joseph Zeng in A Lonely Hero’s Journey, you should watch Veil of Shadows as well, since they reunite as the main leads with another love story together
