Both dramas have the same theme of wronged women trying to find independence and run a successful business.
In both dramas the ML is an official who tries to help the FL but respects her capabilities.

It's a strange choice you may think putting down a modern drama as a recommendation - but hear me out.

It's the Personality of the OTP and dynamics of their relationship.
It's the "hazing" the FL goes through before she can set up on her own terms.
It's the ML who (loves making profit) does not interfere in her pursuits but admires her gumption and perseverance.

Its the way FL works her way around people and gets them on board.

It's as engaging a watch for the journey of a woman who lost everything and had to build up from scratch

Mudan and her maternal side legacy of peonies

Jiang Hu and her paternal sides shoe making legacy.

- Both FL have been married before
- Both FL are smart and intelligent, and overcome the (many) difficulties that come their way.
- Both ML are powerful and help the FL

*The Double is a little more focused on revenge, while Flourished Peony is more focused on personal and professional growth, but the dynamics between the leads are similar.

If you became a fan of Yang Zi from Flourished Peony, I definitely recommend you watch one of her famous shows, Ashes of Love. Of course, the main lead is Yang Zi with two other men. EVERYTHING is amazing in Ashes of Love. The acting, the plot, the scenery, the ost, etc. Everyone's acting in that show was absolutely phenomenal especially Yang Zis. If you're a fan of Yang Zi and her acting skills, go try Ashes of Love.
