   Relying on a multitude of female supporting characters and a cultivation journey, this long novel features a male protagonist who constantly repels admirers with the words "I only love my wife," and ultimately succeeds in remaining devoted to her.

The author should have paired these disgusting female supporting characters with a scumbag boyfriend, and it would have been perfect.
