Basically the same story but slightly different.
- FL transmigrates to the past and becomes a princess
- Princess FL
- FL has a harem consisting of 4-5 husbands, each with unique talents and skills
- Reverse harem and some role reversal elements
- Both vertical mini cdramas

Main differences is that in HCSQY FL has a daughter while in ZYXCYFJ she does not.

- Investigation regarding supernatural cases
- M/F duo that solve theses cases together (girlboss x malewife vibes in both)
- Dark supernatural with folklore elements
- Similar dark culty vibes

Main differences: WY is set in a historical setting while Exhuma is contemporary. WY focuses on multiple cases while Exhuma has only 1. Exhuma has an investigation team while WY has a duo.

- Historical detective, investigation
- Both have a main case-solving duo that have good teamwork
- One lead is more of the brains, the other more of the brawns
- Dark supernatural cases with folklore elements
- Similar dark culty vibes
- Both claim that all supernatural happenings are man-made but ultimately do have genuine supernatural happenings
- Brides/bridesgroom serial killer cases in both
- Martial Arts

- Royal MC that's low-ranking and unfavored (emperor FL in DaD, prince ML in DLX)
- Other MC is a palace servant (eunuch in DaD, head maid in DLX)
- MC's mentor and love interest is jaded and cruel but deep down kinder than they appear (ML in DaD, FL is DLX)
- Master x Servant dynamic
- Smart and strong power couple
- "Us against the world"
- Intense and kinda melancholic chemistry
- Revenge
- Palace setting & politics
- Intense and thrilling
- Very beautiful and well-crafted miniseries

DLX is kinda like if DaD had the roles reversed, the royal lead actually *wanted* to rule, and they were in it together since the get-go.

- Emperor MC (FL in DaD, ML in SoTK)
- Secret related to the emperor (twin replacement in SoTK, gender secret in DaD)
- Kind and compassionate emperor (FL in DaD, ML in SoTK)
- Emperor's mentor and love interest is jaded and cruel but deep down kinder than they appear (ML in DaD, FL is SoTK)
- Smart and strong power couple
- "Us against the world"
- Emperor is a puppet ruler with little to no actual power
- Troubling times for the empire (one at the start of a new dynasty, the other at the end of a dynasty)
- Palace setting & politics
- Intense and thrilling
- Beautifully shot with lovely music

Main differences are obviously the fact that DaD's emperor is a woman cross-dressing as a man who takes up the throne while in SoTK ML is the emperor's twin who takes his place. In SoTK, the leads are emperor and empress while in DaD, the leads are emperor/ess and eunuch.

- Ruler FL (Empress in FJ, Sect Leader in SotSS)
- Strong, cold, and badass FL
