The FML coerces the man her female "sister" likes into marrying her in order to plot revenge against her aunt for taking over her family's company.

A lover of food, murder, and a black widow in the background spinning webs and pulling strings for her own reasons. BTAG is darker, with more of a muder mystery vibe including violence. Still addictive though, wondering just how crazy the woman can get.

Food, family secrets, a parent's painful past that affects a child... And little glimpse of food history. WwDS is edgier than IC but both are as addictive as the foods they showcase!

Revenge plot, hidden identity, struggle of FL to find her place. CC is darker (#melodrama and NOT as pleasant an ending) than HJS but they both have this edgy tone that keeps you tilting on the edge wondering what will happen next.

FL (in this case a physician) who loves money, disguises herself as male and ends up close to the King.

Both stories feature:
-palace intrigue
-a FL trying to help her sister
-dreams that may/may not see the future
-hidden identities

There's also a tone with both pieces--serious but not so much so there aren't moments of levity and sweet romance. (Although to be fair, the ML in Q:L&W is more romantic than the ML in LJY.)
