Male Friendship/Bromance [more like Enemies to Lovers hahaha]
One guy approaches the other for revenge

Historical Bromance>>>
Handsome Male Leads *blush blush*
in RM they married eachother (ifykyk) and in PMD they're married (ifykyk) HAHAHAHA
Storylines arent similar but they remind me of eachother

-MLs seeking revenge, disguises and hides his identity works his way up to gain the enemy's trust and live with them to discover truth.

Both **Blades Amid Blossoms** and **Returned Master** center on a powerful martial figure re-entering the jianghu after absence or downfall. They emphasize cultivation or martial growth, revenge and redemption arcs, hidden identities, and the contrast between past glory and present struggle. Loyalty, honor, and uncovering old conspiracies drive both stories.
