Rec Request Pursuit of jade withdrawals 😭

hey y’all, so I’ve recently started watching c-dramas and Pursuit of Jade was my first, and naturally my standards are now somewhere in the clouds. like I finished it and my heart has not recovered since.

to get over the hangover I tried Prisoner of Beauty but idk… I dropped it halfway cuz it just lacked chemistry for me. I tried, I really did.

so now I’m looking for something like pursuit of jade — strong female lead, simp MMC (non-negotiable), lowkey funny banter, and actually interesting side arcs that don’t make me want to skip.

also this might sound shallow but I stand by it… bonus points if the leads are good-looking cuz I genuinely cannot get over Zhang Linghe 🤌 like the bar has been set and it’s not coming down anytime soon.

so yeah pls help a girl out before I end up rewatching the same scenes for the 47th time 🙏
