Romance is most evident in the 4 that I mentioned. Soul Land initially starts with a light shounen tone, the girl is introduced at like episode 5 or so. In Snow Eagle Lord, the girl is introduced much later. You could tell they are interested in each other, but the full relationship doesn't start until like season 3-4.
Carp Reborn and Way of Choices also have a romantic pair as part of its plot, but in my opinion these are a lower "mid" tier in terms of overall quality. Carp Reborn is a modern age soldier transported into a historic setting isekai, and he initially fakes a marriage for mutual benefit, but they eventually come to respect each other. Way of Choices is a typical cultivation with a cute romance toward the end.
The following are what I'd consider "low tier" donghua, in that it's clear the original author wrote an overall plot without much dialogue, and the low budget studios just filled in the script with crap. A lot of donghua are like this: The dialogues are all the same after a while, even though the overall plot isn't necessarily bad. Supreme God Emperor and Spirit Sword Sovereign have similar plot devices in which the respective protagonist marries a girl, but then the girl is discovered to have a powerful bloodline and is forcefully "kidnapped", so MC swears revenge. So there's a romance, but the girl won't be there for huge parts of the plot. Tales of Demons and Gods is another lower budget donghua that has a dynamic very similar to Naruto/Sakura throughout the show. The plot is decent at times but inconsistent in quality.
If you clarify what you're looking for, maybe we could find a more specific recommendation.
