Arclei

Revenge-driven anti-hero power couple with role reversal elements (main difference is that in DLX it's the ML who is a royal, while in TStR it's the FL).

- Princess FL
- Dominant FL x Submissive ML
- Red Flag FL who torments and forces herself on ML
- ML is quiet and reserved (more shy in TStR, more bratty in YBJX)
- FL vying for the throne and taking revenge on those who wronged her on the side
- Politics and scheming

- Princess FL x Commoner ML
- Dominant FL x Submissive ML
- Both leads are a manipulative scheming power couple
- FL holding a unique position in court as the emperor's favored daughter
- FL-focused
- Political intrigue and politics
- Gender Role Reversal in both
- Similar style and vibe. TStR reminds me a lot of TPR.

TPR is a rebirth story about setting things right while TStR is a revenge-focused political story.

- Princess FL x Commoner ML
- Dominant FL x Submissive ML
- Gender Role Reversal and Femdom in both
- Both FLs are competent schemers

The plots are quite different and in ZGZZS ML is a guard, while in in TStR he's a scholar, but the fendom vibes and intimacy is quite similar.

- ML seeking revenge for the death of his family
- ML infiltrates his enemy to seek said revenge
- Atypical MLs (LoZH: emotional and submissive. AP: cheeky and bubbly)
- Both dramas deal quite a lot with superstition (folklore, occult, astrology, etc)
- Dark, gritty and heavy dramas with good acting and good direction

Yue Bang Jiu Xiao is like the historical version of Forever Love.

- Both FLs hold powerful positions (CEO in FL, Princess in YBJX)
- Obsessive and possessive FLs that chase the ML relentlessly
- Aloof, uptight MLs that dodge them at every turn
- Domineering and forceful FLs
- Dom FL x Sub ML
- Gender Role Reversal
- Lots of melodrama and angst in both
- Leads mutually hurting each other
- Rushed ending T_T

- Princess FL that's willful and domineering (in AGiLaM she's a warrior princess while in YBJX she's not)
- Enemies to lovers who fight a *lot*
- Angst and misunderstandings galore
- Emotional MLs
- Strong ML x Stronger FL
- Dom FL x Sub ML
- Gender Role Reversal in both
- Leads mutually hurting each other

The plots are fairly different (as far as historical verticals about royalty go, lol), but the lead's dynamic felt similar to me with true love/hate melodramatic steam

- Princess FL
- Similar political plot of a ruthless FL fighting all her siblings for the throne
- Flirty, domineering FL
- Dom FL x Sub ML
- Gender Role Reversal

Main difference is the leads' relationship which was enemies to lovers in YBJX with a reluctant ML and devoted master/servant in GZJS,YWRRYXFS with an eager ML.

- Dom FL x Sub ML
- BDSM femdom
- Girlboss x Malewife
- Bold FL x Shy ML
- Gender Role Reversal

- Strong, warrior FL
- Green-tea ML who pretends to be a weak maiden that needs FL's protecting but is actually a scheming, sassy b*tch <3
- Gender Role Reversal

The plots are pretty different but the MLs and the RR dynamic is somewhat similar. FMMTDXHL committed far better to the role reversal than BLRZHKWYFSA.

- Strong warrior FL
- Courtesan ML
- Green-tea ML who pretends to be a weak maiden that needs FL's protecting but is actually a scheming b*tch <3
- ML trying to seduce FL and being coquettish
- ML has a secret identity (the same kind of identity in both)
- Gender Role Reversal

Both also have a bit of a disappointing RR approach where ML is far more RR than FL and FL is kinda weak and mean more than she is protective and cool.

- Strong, warrior FL
- Green-tea ML who pretends to be a weak maiden that needs FL's protecting but is actually a scheming b*tch <3
- ML trying to seduce FL and being coquettish
- ML has a secret identity
- Gender Role Reversal

MLG is more committed to the RR than BLRZHKWYFSA
