Story of Kunning Palace (2023)

Yeah this story-genre is different too but
--the male leads character is very similar. Both male leads are morally grey and kind of red flag . Slow burn and slowly developed feelings for female lead. Both are vengeful , manipulative , schemer and master of a musical instrument ....... female lead learn things from male lead.....
-- even the character of second male lead is kind of similar too . Like nice and kind but not meant for female lead.
-- In SOKP fl is also strong and capable character. Though she was villain in her first timeline .....you will be able to see the growth of female leads in both dramas .

The female character is very smart just like our female lead in SOKP. The story is very well paced and ending is satisfactory. Moreover, we get to see the male lead support his wife and all of her schemes.

Duan Mu Cui desce ao reino mortal e estabelece sua própria seita com a intenção de derrotar as forças demoníacas que procuram prejudicar os humanos.

Same script writer. In Story of Kunning Palace the Female Lead also tries to change her fate while running from the male lead to avoid a repeat of their previous disastrous ending.

similarities:
both have a good balance of comedy and drama
plot twists and schemes
both MC are intelligent (in SOKP the FL went back in time and in JOL the ML have modern world knowledge)
power struggle between a lot of factors
differentials:
SOKP have more romance while in JOL it's more about ML dealing with schemes and stuff

-they're not that similar but in my opinion if you like one you will like the other

Female lead went back in time to change the ill fate of her death and other decisions she made wrong previously...

When Xie Wei's rebellion starts, she had no choice but to give up all her assets in exchange for her life. She gets confined in the Kunning (Ningan) palace with Jiang Xuening. It is also from her where Jiang Xuening learns of the silk investment, Ren Weizhi's salt wells business, and the modern stocks trades system.

A lot of similarities between the two!

- transmigration

- Initial Enemies to Lovers (hate to love?)

- Hidden motives for ML

- Smart ML

The writer back to past life and be the main character there.
And the male lead is a sinner too..
At first the female lead fall in love with another man.

Historical period drama,
The plot revolves around the leading women,
I'm adding it here in case anyone wants to watch it.

Similarity points:
- At first FLs only know the MLs as cruel & cunning, who will plot to overthrow the current rulers
- MLs are tormented by their past leading to their cold and aloof front
- FLs always attempt to go against the ML at first
- MLs suspect FLs intentions at first
- FLs always suspect the MLs of any crime or plot and for the most part they are correct
- MLs actions ofen misunderstood as they understand the undercurrents better

The rest I won't continue as they are spoilers but these 2 feel very similar

Réincarnation trope. Both FL commit suicide in front of Ml who they believe schemed against them. In new life they do their best to avoid ML and get a new life without trouble, but fate catches up as they inevitably get tangled up with ML.

Looks like a similar plot with FL going back in time and trying to change her future in the palace.

Political intrigue, power struggle, war and conspiracy surrounding the royalty and court officials as a backdrop of an angst-filled romance between two smart and complex leads with their own agenda and ambitions. The empress dowager featured in both the stories give off a similar villainous characterization as well. The female protagonist in TLOA and the male protagonist in SOKP play a similar political chess with hidden identities as their trump cards.

So you like bad boys do you?

Lighter and Princess is set in modern times, but it has the life and death drama of a historical/wuxia and features a toxic bad boy. But, unlike Kunning palace, while he rages and is disrespectful to pretty much everyone, he is gentlest with the main female lead, and genuinely sacrifices his goals for her at various points.
