Very similar plots. Colder, more serious older brother who tries to look out for others and female lead that has some sort of relationship with the younger brother. As someone who has read the novel I would say Chen Qingwu is more introverted and quiet whereas I think Anong would've been less passive. This drama also has a care free younger brother.
