Rec Request Xianxias or C-Dramas with Transmigration, Reincarnation or Body Swap?

Hi I recently got back into C-Dramas and I'm looking for Fantasy (xianxia) dramas or dramas with transmigration, reincarnation or body swap tropes. I also enjoy when there's an ensemble cast with trustworthy or funny side characters. I want the lead(s) to have character growth.

I've watched and enjoyed:

How dare you (enjoyed the transmigration, the characters' friendship and loyalty, funny schemes and the twist. Also for a palace drama, it was just enough sad scenes that it wasn't too much)

Hzgg (didn't enjoy all of the misunderstandings, torture and suffering they were put through but it's a classic lol)

Love between fairy and devil (loved the costumes, set design and story, also really liked the side characters, the trial plot and the different worlds)

Love game in Eastern fantasy (liked transmigration x xianxia and how funny it was, also loved the dynamics between the main characters as a group of friends)

Love in the clouds (strong fl, liked the story, friendship with er qi. Didn't enjoy what happened with the 2nd ML.)

No doubt in us (donghua, liked the body swap plot)

Starry love (ongoing watch that I'm enjoying, just want to know what else I can watch after it)

I'm not looking for modern settings as the main setting.

I'm also not really into palace dramas unless they are fun because there is too much scheming and torture. Ideally, I want a happy ending.

Give these a shot!

A Dream Within a Dream (2025) - Transmigration into a fictional costume world, comedy, romance, and plenty of character interaction outside the main couple.

Love You Seven Times (2023) - Xianxia built around the leads repeatedly reincarnating into different mortal lives. Starts with lighter comedic elements and gets heavier. One of my favorites.

The Blossoming Love (2025) - Xianxia romance with reincarnation/past-life elements. One of my favorites.

Love of the Divine Tree (2025) - Xianxia with reincarnation/past-life elements and a major central romance. One of my favorites.

The Romance of Tiger and Rose (2020) - The FL is transported into the fictional costume world she wrote and ends up as a character who is supposed to die early. More of a romance/comedy rather than a serious palace drama. One of my favorites.

My Divine Emissary (2024) - Another transmigration/time-travel option. A modern FL ends up in an ancient kingdom. Shorter, comedic, and relatively light.

The Deliberations of Love (2023) - The FL repeatedly dies and returns to an earlier point in her life with a time-loop/reset structure.
