I recommend the Oriental fantasy novel, Saving the Wild Goddess." After the male protagonist Yi Xiao became a disciple of the Sword Saint in the Wasteland Continent, he kept saving the goddess beside him. Step by step, he became stronger and became a peerless god of war to protect the goddess beside him. The plot matched the description at the beginning very well. The male lead had an unfortunate experience but bravely moved forward. At the same time, it also matched the genre of fantasy novels. I hope you like my recommendation.π
