I have read the novel for Heart Protection and recently watched Who Rules the World. They are similar as they both have some form of martial art in it, though heart protection focuses more on xianxia and WRTW focuses more on wuxia. They have similar plot where there is an overarching mystery for the main couple to overcome. They both have bickering couples, and it is a sweet romance
