In both, the lead (FL vs. ML) can "hear" a person's secrets (thoughts vs. lies) and as a result they have a somewhat jaded view of people.

Both are historical dramas in which the couple marries at the beginning - one of them is happy for the marriage and the other very unhappy. Despite being seemingly very mismatched the two end up complimenting each other's strengths and weaknesses and fall in love.

Both FLs have an ability to change faces (themselves vs. other's) and have a childhood friend who (eventually) becomes part of a love triangle or rectangle. Both FLs heal and save their future love interest who is introduced as a tortured, dying, and mute person.

Both are a lifelong friendship that turns to romance with the FL older than the ML and always getting him into trouble as children. Both have funny flashbacks to their early childhood, and both MLs are more quiet while the FLs are bolder. The leads' parents are also very close.

Both are close childhood bickering friends to romance stories with a similar warm feel and school setting.

Both are more unusual xianxia dramas in which the FL is surrounded by several men who each love her in their own way including a demonic and somewhat dangerous protector (Xiang Liu reminds me quite a bit of Sha Qian Mo).

Both dramas are about the FL entering a fake world which is a mix of a novel and VR elements, and falling in love with the ML there.

Both are set within the world of a historical game with the FL trying to accomplish a task to return to the real world.
