Essentially the same story set-up in both of a strong FL and a primary shadow guard ML plus 4 additional male consorts, however FL is reborn in [1] "Qing Huang Tian Xia" while it is a powerful princess transmigrating into a new body in [2] "Gong Zhu Jue Se, Ying Wei Ri Ri Yu Xia Fan Shang".
[1] One is reborn to change her life in pursuit of power, [2] the other is reborn with a new identity to strive towards the peak again. [2] also cuts down on some complicated family relationships (i.e., mother) and the vibe of the FLs are subtly different as their motivation diverge (as [1] returning from extreme despair and [2] is coming from the paramountcy of power).
