In an era when demons have dominion over cultivators and mortals, the cultivator elders believe it is imperative to send someone back in time to discover the origin of the demon lord and prevent his resurrection.
Li Su Su accepts the mission and assumes the identity of mortal Ye Xi Wu, the second daughter of General Ye. She's married to Tantai Jin, the captive prince and future demon lord, and is determined to destroy him, aware that in the future he will come to massacre many. But as witness to Tantai Jin's past life and rise to power, an unexpected tale emerges, one complicating her quest.

From the Kong Sang Continent comes the tale of the tumultuous love story of Princess Zhu Yan of the Chi Yi Tribe and Royal Prince Shi Ying,
The framing of the Queen results in the Prince being banished to Jiu Yi Mountain to cultivate. Once solely focused on his tasks, he develops romantic feelings for his disciple Zhu Yan. But their student/teacher relationship prevents either from expressing their true feelings.
Fate then works against them when they choose opposing sides in a political struggle of life and death proportions.
Eventually, putting aside their issues, they pledge to protect their beloved Kong Sang Continent.

The set up shares many similarities
- in both dramas, the female lead transmigrates into past (TTEOTM) or historical fiction (TROTaR)
- the female lead is kind but replaces someone who is quite cruel (and nearly crazy)
- the female lead is in a loveless marriage with male lead
- the male lead seems to have feelings for older sister of female lead (TTEOTM) or female lead tries to set them up (TROTAR)
- the male lead appears weak and docile
However, the vibes of both dramas are different - Tiger and Rose is very comedy centered while TTEOTM (while still not the most serious ever) has more some more somber themes and the stakes of the whole story seem to be higher

Both stories involve the demon lord ML who is a vessel for all evil/malicious energy and the goddess FL who must restore balance of good/evil in the world. So relationship dynamics are similar - yin and yang, they-are-each-other's-half kind of dynamic. However, while TTJ and YXW are enemies at the beginning, ZYZ and WX from Fangs of Fortune start as companions.
CDL is also in both dramas - as the villain in TTEOTM and FL in FoF.
Finally, both dramas place thematic emphasis on the concept of the butterfly dream.
