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.
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).
