His sisters were renowned beauties far and wide, so Wang Zhengjun naturally had high standards. Handsome, articulate, educated, and refined, he piqued the interest of the daughters of landlords and young women from the town alike.

Furthermore, he didn't find those young women to be anything special, nowhere as charming as his sisters. So, he turned them down, righteously.
