FL disguised as a man

They are always one step ahead on scheming and such
Recommended by Blluna
Crossdressing female lead who is the heir to a lord. She acts as the ruling lord of her city while disguised as a man. She also jumps from a cliff and develops amnesia. The second ML is also a neutral player in politics until he's swayed by the FL to her side.
Recommended by weepinleaf
Both are historical dramas with a female emperor who the court thinks is a man and only those close to her know the truth. Both MLs are very devoted and affectionate to the FL.

Both of these dramas are hilarious, they actually have a similar style of humour! The FL in both is played by Zhang Yue Nan.

- Comedies but CL is more angsty

While completely different in tone (MUD is light and funny, TKA is much darker and heavier) both begin with the king killing the midwives to hide a birth secret and the FL being raised as a male crown prince.
Recommended by emeraldarrows
Strong female leads who have to hide their real strength/selves. Cat and mouse cleverness games between leads. Royalty ML who falls first and falls harder. Lots of comedy.

This was more realization to FL behaviour

Both have strong personalities and are humorous.

Has comedy yet there's still a content.
Recommended by Blluna
Watch this drama instead if you find The Substitute Princess' Love is boring.

I find the series more entertaining and the FL a better actress.
