Marvelous Women (2021)

Similar premise based on common folk (non-royals) and business setting with a strong FL helping the family business to thrive.

A female-centric narrative about intelligent and capable women overcoming adversity in a world dominated by men.

Shared similarities in the premise that focuses on the clan-dominated textile industry during the Qing Dynasty.

The tough life of someone who has to fight everyday to reach uphill due to the men in their life. Both characters show the trials of youth into adulthood and are commoner status women who use their intelligence to be better and above the expectations presumed by others.

- Kind-hearted, highly capable wife works together with her husband's mistress in textile business and in taking care of the family after the husband went missing. - The wife is also childless and has a hand in raising the mistress' child.

Similarities: - Female centered, strong female leads - One of the FL also was sold to a brothel because a crime of her father - Women fighting together to survive and succeed in the patriarchal society - Amazing cinematography, direction, acting, beautiful and meaningful dialoges. - Weak men causing trouble to amazing women, even the actor is the same (ok, in Marvelous Women he is not so bad as Ouyang Xu lol)
