both FLs are smart, strong, calm, mature, and business-oriented. both MLs are government officials involved in military/defense. the leads' relationship in both dramas start off with distrust, but the leads slowly warm up to each other as they keep helping each other. their relationships are also steady and mature. blossom is more politics heavy and darker, while a dream of splendor focuses more on the livelihoods of three women.

- FL helped their husband to achieve their goals but later was killed by him.
- FL reborn again to get her revenge.

- ML is caring towards FL.

Very similar with the palace and political conflicts. Both the male and female lead characters are or become righteous and influential with strong moral compasses. Both female leads may seem weak at first but they quickly change and become strong, quick thinking, decisive, and upright women. Both men show loyalty and bravery.

If you enjoy a well constructed plot and characters you can really root for; not just the leads but also many of the people surrounding them; then you will love both these series.

- FL was killed by those persons whom she trusted.
- FL reborns again to take her revenge.
- Pairs up with ML whom she ignored in previous life.
- Gradually fall in love.

The drama tells the story of a fallen princess forced into a political marriage with a corrupt prime minister. She faces numerous dangers but strives to survive to protect herself amidst the conflicts of national loyalty, personal vengeance, and true love. Meanwhile, the prime minister, outwardly ambitious to become a treacherous official, secretly harbors a desire to serve his country, its people, and the world.

-~~ Adapted from the web novel "Tao Hua Zhe Jiang Shan" (?????) by Bai Lu Cheng Shuang (????).

Both FLs are betrayed by the man they love and die tragically, only to find themselves in the past. They become close to the ML, someone they knew only briefly in their original life.

Both dramas are historical dramas.

Both dramas feature strong female roles.

I think those who liked Blossom should be excited to watch this one too
