The female leads in these dramas couldn't be more different. However, both dramas have master/disciple dynamics, and both have extremely slow-burn torturous romances where the tension cuts like a knife and you can feel the pain in their eyes and your heart feels like it's being squeezed. And that's what matters!
The male leads are also slightly similar in that they're both princes who're sick af at martial arts, but also they're shy and awkward with no idea how to do a romance.

Both are historical dramas starring Bai Lu as female lead character. Bai Lu's characters in both are very different from each other.
In One and Only, the leads have a Master and Disciple relationship, she calls him "Shifu". Also in the Legends, FL sometimes calls ML "Shifu" while she is pretending to be someone to get close to him.

There's a suspicion among the imperial family to run for the throne. Even though the male lead of both series already take an oath to stay loyal, the suspicion is still exist. Male lead of both dramas are great general who has been spending their life for peace even though suspicion of them beings rebels exists. Both of the drama leads also can't be together in the end because of their priorities and responsibilities.
Putting aside the fact that Ren Jia Lun stars both dramas, One and Only and Love of Nirvana have a strikingly similar calm before the storm mood, angst, and tragic tale. Ren Jia Lun’s character for both dramas are caught up in political intrigues either through accusations of rebellion, or injustice and revenge.
Romance becomes a variable in their purpose, though it doesn’t make them stray as they are no love fools. To the male lead characters, the female lead characters in both dramas are like flowers or sunshine in their dark world full of spheres, swords, and blood.
Watching these two dramas, you just know that things are definitely going bad. Despite so, the well-written story and characters reel you in, holding a tight grip over you to keep you seated.

Warning though: One and Only has a brutal ending, watch it at your own peril.
What I think is similar in both is the maturity between the couples. They understood each other so well.
While Shen Li & Xing Zhi bickered a lot, they still respected each other. Zhou Sheng Chen respected and treated Cui Shi Yi with a lot of care. They get their happy ending in the modern times (in the sequel Forever and Ever).
