1) Male protagonists (Lan Ling Prince/PoLL and Wei Wu Xian/TU) wear a mask each.
2) Protagonists in both dramas (Yang Xue Wu/PoLL and Wei Wu Xian/TU) share the same sunny, cheerful, inventive disposition with a courageous, righteous and resolute heart to protect the weak and also loved ones. Perhaps so similar that there are actually two similar scenes: https://mydramalist.com/profile/whatever_weus/feeds/kDb5RFJ
3) Relationships (kinships, friendships) between the characters in both dramas touched me - tissues may come in handy at a number of points in the dramas
4) Similar in style and pace with a mix of laughters, tears, angsts
5) Elaborate costumes, filming locations and world building
6) Beautiful and meaningful OSTs
Note for TU: TU while adopted from a bl novel, portrayed the male leads as confidants with strong brotherhood, and only bits of queer subtle for the experienced bl enthusiasts, in respect to the original bl novel. Chinese censorship has transcended the bl novel into a critical series showcasing Chinese culture, music, sceneries, costumes, intriguing plot on the protagonist’s ordeals going against society, using unorthodox methods to fight evil and help the weak.

There are many similar plot points, but in general so I don't spoil anything, both are great romances with an intriguing overarching plot. The male leads are both princes while the female leads are from a different "clan". Ten Miles of Peach Blossom has more fantasy elements, but the development between the leads are similar (they get together early on) . If you love one, you'll definitely love the other!
In both dramas Ariel Lin is a smart girl who'll do anything for her beloved one even to give him some precious advice during time of war. And if you liked Ariel Lin in one drama you'll surely like her in the other one .
Other than that Prince of Lan Ling and Legend of the Condor Heroes are totally opposite from each other and in my opinion Lan Ling Wang was way better !

It's all about female sacrifices. Both ended tragic. You question why does it have to be this way? Both drama begins with two opposing male leads falling in love with the female lead.
One had more freedom while the other trapped like a mouse. The male leads are starkly different; one for protection through heartfelt love and the other for protection through possessiveness (a different kind of love).

gao wei who is suppose to be the cousin of lanling and the antagonist in prince of lan ling is the adopted son of lu zhen in legend of lu zhen. i would say this is a prequel to prince of lanling. it's a great drama, so underrated! watch it and you will fall in love with the lead male, BUT don't read wiki, never
