If the script for the female lead didn't try so hard to be comical, this series would be ok. Even with this time…
Time Travel (from modern to ancient times/game/novel/book) and Rebirth/Reborn (come back to the past after die) themes are so GOOD in many other Chinese dramas.
Many other dramas did the elements right, exciting, and very necessary for the plot. For examples Story of Kunning Palace (Rebirth/Reborn), Blossom (Rebirth/Reborn), Lost Track of Time (Rebirth/Reborn), The Princess Royal (Rebirth/Reborn), Joy Of Life (Time Travel), Love Game of Eastern Fantasy (Time Travel), The Romance of Tiger & Rose (Time Travel), Romance in The Farm (Time Travel), Scarlet Heart (Time Travel), Guardian of The Dafeng (Time Travel), etc many more.

Costume dramas are more trending and popular. It also have the best scripts, resources and budget + great execution. Many people still LOVE costume dramas. Chinese dramaland is also well known with the best costume dramas. It's their best specialty with long history of various dynasties, great stories and romances, various hairstyles + beautiful long hair for men and women, great costumes & sets, best fighting/war scenes/martial arts, beautiful cinematography, great production designs, etc. That's why many actors and actresses keep choosing costume dramas.
For modern dramas, ZWY already took autism genius doctor role in Fantastic Doctors and also several modern roles before he went into Costume dramas. Maybe you are the one who should watch them if you want him in different roles. Because he already DID that.

The Rise of Ning - He is an illegitimate 3rd son of Luo Family. He also survived everything on his own + he did the best for his achievement.

There are plenty of A budget to low budget drama but people still regard them as a great drama. Or at least worth…
Yes Xianxia genre have so many high budget dramas. Most of Xianxia and fantasy major dramas are high budget.
For historical/non xianxia, Love Like The Galaxy, Who Rules The World, Lost You Forever, Joy of Life, A Dream of Splendour, Wonderland of Love, Are You The One, and many other major dramas are also high budget dramas right? Tencent listed them as S/S+ dramas.
I heard Story of Kunning Palace, My Journey To You, Fangs of Fortune, A Journey To Love, New Life Begins, Destined, Follow Your Heart, and other iQiyi major dramas are listed as high budget dramas. LBFAD, Moonlight Mystique, Love You Seven Times, Fox Spirit Matchmaker Trilogy, Love of The Divine Tree, and etc are xianxia and it's also listed as high budget dramas. Oh, the upcoming drama Fated Hearts (Li Qin, Chen Zhe Yuan) are also one of the high budget dramas from iQiyi.
For Youku, their S/S+ dramas such as The Double, Kill Me Love Me, Story of Pearl Girl, The Princess Royal, and other youku major dramas.
For Blossom, I think it's A+ budget but it became so popular unexpectedly. The next Sijin is another S/S+ project from Tencent I guess. Xiao Zhan upcoming dramas and Hidden Shadow (Guo Jing Ming as director with Li Hong Yi and Wang Chu Ran) from Youku are also S+ budget.

You want to watch or drop this drama. Ofc it's up to you.

Si Jin are also similar with these dramas. Time Travel/Rebirth/Reborn theme.
Idk if Scent of Time still fit the category because of its ending. SoT ending is VERY different with all the dramas that I mentioned above.
