novel-wise, kinda same: was previously married in prev life, wrongfully killed, ml and fl are both cunning strategies. they also exist in the same universe! both from the warring states period:
TLFG - The State of Wei
TD - The State of Yan
but TD is a VERY slow burn romance. they didnt even had that much of an interaction until like c84 or something. but still, check it out!

Both series have a strong female lead who’s good at martial arts and also clever strategies. Male leads are also on par and play supportive characters and have their own arcs/secrets. Love Legend of Fu Yao and if Legend of the Female General stays similar to its novel counterpart then it definitely worth my hype.
Set in the Liu Song Dynasty (420-479), with powerful aristocrats clamoring for power, the people of the Liu Song Empire have succumbed to the ensuing chaos. Desperate to bring peace to his crumbling nation, the young emperor, Liu Yi Kang, son of Emperor Wu of Liu Song, the founder of the Liu Song Dynasty, is willing to do whatever it takes to save his people, but the road before him will not be easy. With most of the country’s powerful families plotting against him, Yi Kang’s list of allies is growing dangerously thin.
Knowing the only way to strengthen his position is to ally himself with a mighty family, Yi Kang agrees to an alliance through marriage with the powerful Shen family. A family with deep military roots, the Shen family can provide the strength Yi Kang needs to enact the reform necessary to oust the aristocrats bent on destroying the nation. With the family’s brilliant and beautiful, Shen Li Ge by his side, the two begin the arduous task of reformation.
Facing off against one of the nation’s most powerful and corrupt clans, Yi Kang and Li Ge must use every ounce of their wits and strength to defeat their foes. But peace doesn’t come without a price and the cost of this battle is tremendous. In the midst of so much heartache and despair, can this noble couple find a way to heal the wounds of a broken nation and at the same time, mend the wounds of their own broken hearts?
