Ye Cheng (2023)

Both dramas have settings of a female-centric world where women's and men's roles are switched. It is interesting to see all the women hold power and important office, and the men have to kowtow to them. All the noble titles are passed down to daughters instead of to sons. In marriages, the men married into the women's households. In this drama, men stay home and do chores, do embroidery, and entertain the women in dances and more.

Both have matriarchal societies, strong female leads, male leads with some tricks up their sleeves, and a lot of humor.
