Strings of Longing for Bygone Days

Please Recommend Transmigration Stories That Aren’t Clichéd!

I've been reading on and off for five or six years. Transmigration is one of the few genres I really like. I have plenty on my bookshelf, but some feel formulaic. Other people have asked for recommendations like this too, but when I click through, I can't find anything to my taste... Any subject is fine!

Any Past-Life-and-Present-Life Stories with a Tragic Past Life and a Happy Ending in This Life?

Looking for a Transmigration Story With a Smart Protagonist and No System

Preferably a historical novel about someone who transmigrates, though an alternate setting is fine too. The characters need to be smart, and there should be no System.

Recommend Transmigration Novels, No Idiotic System Stories!

Traveling back and forth is fine. Just no brainless stories where the protagonist transmigrates and immediately activates a System. I want something about exploring another world on their own.

Past and Present Lives

The past-life-and-present-life trope has been especially popular lately.
