Fated Hearts

Basically, there are leads who carry blood feud and revenge oath but fall in love with each other. The visual quality of this drama is no less stunning than Fated Hearts but this does not have sensationalism of western production like FH had (too many plot twists to milk the dangers and tribulation tropes). This is what cdrama represented 25 years ago: adherence to the logic of the story and consistent delivery of superbly written script. The author of this (already deceased unfortunately) had created many wuxua sagas with incredible talent and the director/ crew here did an amazing job on much smaller budget. Actors were awesome here!

Both have warrior FLs with a more convincing portrayal than other dramas. In Fated Hearts FL has amnesia and works with ML, in Qingchuan's Veil of Vengeance FL hides her identity and teaches ML. Both FLs are looking for revenge.

Princess Ti Lan of Xiangnan, bright and free-spirited, loses her peaceful royal life overnight due to a coup and awakens the ability to foresee the future as a "Blind Songstress". She crosses paths with General Tang Qian Zhi, and through a twist of fate, they become betrothed, forming a deep bond.

Meanwhile, Prince Zhong Xu of Great Zheng, obsessed with Ti Lan due to her resemblance to his late consort, seeks to claim her. As war and turmoil rage on, Ti Lan fights against fate, standing by her love and defying destiny to change the course of a chaotic world.

FL in Sinful Marriage might not be as strong as Fu Yixiao psychally. But she's really smart, brave, and straightforward. She feared no one and nothing, loved herself so much. Main couple relationship was similar to Fated Hearts. They started as enemy, but working together to solve the problem. Eventho they were always being sarcastic to each other

When Jinxiu Kingdom is on the brink of defeat in the battle at Pingling, the female archer in red, Fu Yi Xiao, shoots an arrow at Susha's eldest prince, Feng Sui Ge, turning the tide of the battle. But Yi Xiao accidentally falls off a cliff shortly after and loses her memory. After Yi Xiao is rescued by the Ling family of doctors of the Righteous Villa, she unexpectedly reunites with her old enemy, Sui Ge.

Looking at the mess Yi Xiao is in, Sui Ge infers that it must be related to his predicament in the battle at Pingling. Sui Ge wants to use Yi Xiao to find out the truth behind the scenes, while Yi Xiao wants to use Sui Ge to survive under heavy pursuit.

So the two, who were mortal enemies a month ago, must now rely on each other to survive in the turbulent Yujing City, and their love secretly blossoms through countless near-death experiences. The seeds have been sown, and amid the hatred, betrayal, deception, unrequited desire, and inability to let go, everyone is both a player and a pawn.

Yi Xiao and Sui Ge can only work closely together in the storm to overcome the dark conspiracy, break the shackles of fate, live up to the people’s expectations, and not let each other down.
