Arclei

- Ruler FL (Empress in FJ, Sect Leader in SotSS)
- Strong, cold, and badass FL
- ML is her consort/concubine
- Cold Woman x Cold Man
- Strong ML x Strong FL
- Warrior ML (Assassin in SotSS, General in FJ)
- Jealous SML
- Reverse Harem (multiple men vying for FL)
- Gender Role Reversal
- Similar steamy scenes
- Bonus detail: A couple of locations in common xD

Differences: SotSS is wuxia/sect themed while FJ is palace themed. In SotSS FL has a reputation for being a playgirl and in FJ there is a reincarnation arc.

- Matriarchal setting (proper matriarchy in TELS3, female ruler in FJ)
- Royal FL (Empress in FJ, Crown Princess in TELS3)
- ML becomes FL's consort/concubine
- Power couple leads
- SML also in love with FL
- Gender Role Reversal
- Concubine selection arc (main plot of FJ)
- Time/universe travel (parallel universe in TELS3, reincarnation/time travel in FJ)

- One of the leads is a royal (Prince ML in DLX, Empress FL in FJ)
- The other lead works under the royal (Maid FL in DLX, General in FJ)
- Strong FL x Strong ML
- Cold FL x Cold ML
- Gender Role Reversal
- Wintery aesthetic
- Similar steamy scene

The main difference is that in DLX the roles are reversed from FJ while still remaining role reversal. DLX's FL is a fighter while in FJ her fighting power is limited. DLX is revenge focused with morally grey leads while that is not the case in FJ.

- FL is betrayed by her lover, dies, reincarnates, and ends up setting her story right.
- Strong FLs
- FLs become jaded after reincarnating
- Strong MLs
- Strong ML x Strong FL
- Gender Role Reversal themes (more present in FJ)
- Petty and evil SML.

The stories are quite different but I just couldn't help but think of RftA while watching FJ. Main differences are: FJ tis about royalty and takes place in the palace. RftA is mostly revenge focused.

- Strong FL (Empress in FJ, General in MLG)
- ML pretending to be helpless and weak in front of FL but he's actually very powerful
- Seductor/Homme fatale ML
- Strong ML (assassin in MLG, general in FJ)
- ML is FL's consort/concubine
- Strong ML x Strong FL
- Gender Role Reversal

FJ is palace-themed and focused on mostly 1 event while MLG is not. Some differences in the characters as well but if you like role reversal, you'll like both.

- FLs are royals (Princess Royal in ZGZZS, Empress in FJ)
- Strong, badass, and cold FLs
- Warrior type MLs turned concubine/consorts (general in FJ, bodyguard in ZGZZS)
- Cold Woman x Cold Man
- Jealous SMLs
- Gender Role Reversal
- Both dramas start the same with a (male) concubine selection
- Both are short length chinese microdramas

- Strong FLs that are a force to be reckoned with
- Atypical and endearing MLs that stumble upon a world beyond their understanding (time travel in AALS, political royal world in SoTK)
- Cold FL x Warm ML
- Political scheming
- FL is the wife of an incapable emperor (not ML)
- Beautiful and well crafted stories

The dramas have quite some differences. Most notably the time travel plot of AALS that is entirely absent in SoTK. SoTK is also more political heavy.

- Empress FLs
- Strong, cold, and badass FLs
- ML is her consort/concubine
- Empress FL x Consort/concubine ML
- FL has a harem
- Gender Role Reversal themes
- Northern kingdom requesting/demanding a marriage
- Time travel in both (into the modern future in HDJTT, into before an incident in FJ)

- Ruler FL (Empress in FJ, Queen in MM,MQ)
- General turned consort ML
- FL is in a position of power while ML is her subordinate
- Ruler FL x Consort ML
- Gender Role Reversal elements
- FL struggling with her political status

MM,MQ is more comedic than FJ

- Royal escorted on a dire mission
- Fight against all odds + constant danger
- Small group of warriors vs constant attacks
- Interesting cast of characters
- Thrilling action
- Similar final escape

WotD is quite a bit slower-paced and more focused on the adventure rather than the politics. WotD also has no female characters while QW is female led.

- Main ML is *special*
- Both MLs are very powerful and clever with a kind heart
- Youthful quirky MLs that are always one step ahead
- Princess FL that's sweet and naive but not really all that relevant to the plot
- ML is favored by the king
- ML and FL have a very close bond and their dynamic is very similar
- Parallels between the young generation and the older (parent) generation.
- Lots of fight scenes and war themes
- Political intrigue
- Both have quite some comedy
- Cliffhanger endiiiing

Main differences: EB is high fantasy while JoL is wuxia fantasy. EB is focused on a trio of friends while JoL is focused on 1ML. EB is more shallow overall (it's also way shorter and split in half lol)

- Historical war movies
- Older protagonist/younger protagonist duo
- Protagonists are outnumbered heavily but still emerge victorious
- Battle against all odds
- Heartfelt and emotional
- Beautiful and well-shot

WotD is slower paced and focused more on a travel while TGB is more focused on the big battle (duh).
