I really like to watch more of these historical cdramas like these that I have already watched :

Ashes of Love   
Ancient Love Poetry   
Eternal Love   
Ever Night   
Ever Night: Season 2   
Legend of Fu Yao   
Love and Redemption   
The Legends   

It doesn't have to be xianxia, deities and such. I especially like Ever Night, such great magic and fighting, probably the best magical fantasy battles I've seen.

And it has to have romance.

Duolou Continent - this has all of what you asked for. It's like RPG Final Fantasy where players get stronger and level up through battling creatures. Lotsa magic, fantasy, battles, fights with magical creatures and other soul fighters and soul masters and some romance. Inspiring messages for one to become stronger and to be stronger as a team, leveraging on the strengths of each team member.
