In a world bound by duty and loyalty, two high-ranking officers lead the prestigious crime investigation department. Both are fearless, intelligent, and unwavering in their pursuit of justice. However, their personal lives take an unexpected turn when the royal family proposes a marriage alliance—one they cannot refuse. On the other side are the female leads—strong-willed and determined women, each on a mission. They are substitute brides, stepping into a marriage arranged for them, not out of love but out of necessity. Each bride has her reasons: one seeks to protect her family, the other aims to uncover secrets that only marriage to the officer can unlock. Yet, both enter this marriage with a shared secret—they are childhood sweethearts with the very men they are set to marry. The connection between the couples runs deep, formed long ago in the innocence of youth. Back then, the female leads had offered a helping hand to their now-steadfast partners, a bond that grew but remained unspoken. Life had separated them, yet fate, through the disguise of an arranged marriage, has brought them back together. As they embark on this journey, the couples begin to realize the depth of their feelings for each other. What started as a marriage bound by obligation slowly transforms into something real, as they navigate the complexities of their past, the burdens of their duties, and the new challenges ahead. Their path is not without its trials. Together, they face numerous hurdles, from external threats to internal battles, testing the strength of their newfound love. But with each challenge, their bond deepens, proving that their love, forged in the fires of childhood and rekindled through a disguise marriage, is powerful enough to withstand anything life throws at them. Through sacrifice, courage, and unwavering devotion, these couples not only realize their love for each other but emerge as true partners—partners in love and in life, ready to face the world hand in hand.

The family of the male main character was convicted of treason and the son is the only one who survived and attempt to clear the accusation and reveal the hat they made for his father. also the female main role is a strong and self build person

Both the dramas have independent and feminist female leads who are actually smart. (also funny) The main characters relationship begins with a fake/marriage of convenience and gradually develop feelings for each other. Kind of like a slow burn but not too slow.

-The ML has a high political position like Shen Du. -He secured that position just to avenge the death of his younger brother.

Ding Yuxi as ML in both dramas. The plot may not be similar and the genre is also different. But in both dramas, ML is cold type. Amazing chemistry in both.

Similarities : - Strong Male Lead and Female Lead. - Female Lead is a detective. - They team up to solve cases. -Enemies to lovers. - Tragedy during childhood (Maiden Holmes : Female Lead);(Melody of Golden Age : Male Lead). - Fake marriage.

Both have ML and FL working on different cases and they fall in love with each other. Imperial Coroner is more fast paced i found the cases better, but golden age is more political and has better costumes. I enjoyed both and recommend both

Genres: Thriller, Historical, Mystery, Romance, Swordsman Male Lead, Strong Female Lead, Investigation

Both have a smart FL and a ML with past trauma and a cold personality, and a childhood connection between the leads. Both dramas revolve around the two solving a series of mysteries and conspiracies.

In both dramas, the story centers around a man whose family is unjustly framed in a false case, leading to their punishment.

While delving into the investigation, he unexpectedly crosses paths with a woman who was once his childhood love. Their reunion stirs old feelings, but their love is now complicated by the burden of his mission and the secrets of the past.

- both male leads are general - both female leads are doing everything to help people Investigating for cases Want to recognise as their personality and hardwork not as someone's wife/fiancé And both are smart - revenge - both male lead are protective and let the world burn for their beloved one

I think they both have similar story line and vibe. Both FL have similar occupation although in LoY, FL is not government official. Worth giving a try!
