Both the stories are about a girl who has the power to heal with with their blood and both have always been avoided and abused in their life and finally met someone who truly loves them and cherishes them and needs them

MidnightLace MidnightLace says...

  • Both FL have tragic backgrounds where they were abused and discarded within their community. 
  • Both FL have healing abilities with their blood, and are special beings.
  • Both were given/sold off for arranged marriages, in order for their community/guardian to gain power and/or benefits.

The FL in “The Elixir of the Sun” is a little bolder and better than in “Twilight Poem” because she actively tries to better herself and change things in the castle and country for the better. However, “The Elixir of the Sun” has nearly double the chapters of “Twilight Poem”, so I hope the FL develops significantly.

FL's blood is a cure to any wound, tragic past of both female leads and struggle through them although the tragedy for Twilight Poem's FL is consist (both are but I feel TP's FL has is worse)

Blood is a cure, one difference is TTH's emperor actively harasses the FL and TEOFS would rather die than you do that he loves her to much. The ML for TTH is the emperor's brother and is quite handsome tall dark and handsome. Similar themes

MidnightLace MidnightLace says...

Both FL come from a spacial clan and can heal others with their blood.

Both FL marry are forced to married/become concubines of the emperor; in “the tainted half” the FL is in an abusive horrible relationship with the emperor, and in the “elixir of the sun” the FL has a good healthy relationship with the ML.

Both ML are under a curse that make them crave blood shed, and the FL is only one that can help control these urges.

Both mother’s of the FL sacrifice themselves for their daughters.

Both FL have sweet, caring, and faithful servants that are with the and help them hide their special powers from others.

Fortunately, I possessed her just as she was entering the Imperial Palace. Everyone in the Imperial Palace was wary of me, but didn't hate me yet. I don't need, nor do I want to be loved by the empress. "Come to my room tonight. I'll read you a fairy tale!" 'Woo, don't cry. I'll give you this." But why is everyone so soft towards me? I couldn't understand.
