    Looking for any Male Lead novels or donghua centered around cultivation or martial arts (WX/XX/XH). I know there's a lot of course, but essential to have NO harem or polygamy. Those tend to have horribly written female characters that exist to be pretty. Aaaand I'm too much of a romantic sap to endure girls getting played.

    Soul Land is the most recent donghua I binge watched and I'm looking for something similar to that. Not just the cultivation aspect but relationship wise as well. Tang San/Xiao Wu's love is too pure to get over. Helps that she's not a damsel either.

    Coiling Dragon may be very alike soul land, i beleive.

    I Shall Seal the Heavens isn’t much like soul land, but has monogamy as a hard trait.

    Desolate Era is cultivation and has monogamy too, but MC only rejoin his love at the end of the novel.

    Shouldn't you mention that Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation is a BL??
    But honestly it really is a great cultivation novel whether the plot,the romance or anything✨
