The dramas are not very similar but the chemistry between the leads and how the leads support one another in the drama reminds me of The Sword and the Brocade.

These drama take place during the Tang dynasty and feature a female lead who is a master in embroidery.
In both cases, the female lead is investigating her mother's mysterious death.

The difference here is that while WaToL takes place inside the palace, TSaTB takes place outside of it, in the household of a noble family.

These two dramas are different but I think the female lead working her way up is similar and showing how her intelligence can be useful and just how they stand up for themselves is what connects the two and if you like one of these you’ll probably enjoy the other as well.

If you like love stories that start after marriage, this is it for you! RB has more cuteness more chemistry between the leads.

Main couple that needs time to warm up to each other. Smart female lead who helps her husband and further family to solve issues.

Although these dramas have different plots, I feel like they give off a similar vibe. There are harems, politics, and elaborate costumes.

The lead female uses her intellect through challenging obstacles and understands her purpose. She also wins the trust and love of the main lead. There are also jealous concubines and trickery. Both stories have a lot in common.
