Possible & Probable Relations between Chinese Dramas

WARNING: this list may contain SPOILERS, since it mentions and depends on plot events of the C-dramas here cited. I'll be listing the possible and probable relations between Chinese dramas that I've watched so far. I don't plan on including prequels and sequels, since they have their own firm relations. I'm interested in connections that are plot-related, being them possible or probable, even though there is not an once of evidence that confirms them.

I hope you like it, though! And if you have any suggestions, please let me know! ;D
