A modern girl is in a "book"/"game"/"fake world" in a historical setting and works her way to getting out. Along the way, she struggles to leave the bonds she made and her loved ones.

Female lead is a modern girl who gets sent to a TV show and becomes the Empress who dies in the third episode, so she tries to survive past the third episode! A lot of fun, hilarious, with good soundtrack and great chemistry between the leads--so good that the show even got a season 2 and an alternate season with same actors but different setting.

-Entering a drama/game world and having to start over to not die.
-Solid OSTs
-Great emotional scenes

VR romance genre where one of the main characters know they're in a VR game. To Get Her is more silly, but it has good emotional growth like Sassy Beauty.

VR romance genre with good emotional growth and throughlines. I would say Sassy Beauty have the stronger serious plot though compared to Love & The Emperor.

The cuteness and chaotic disaster vibe that Jiu Er & Yin Ran has reminds me very much of the dynamic of Chen Qian Qian & Han Shuo!
Also, the male leads falls for the female leads first.
Also, both female leads are adorable and clever!
