Does Dong Fangshuo, a celebrity in the Western Han Dynasty, really change wives every year?

Dong Fangshuo, a famous man in the Western Han Dynasty, changed his wife every year. In fact, this appeared in Historical Records, because there is a record about Dong Fangshuo in Historical Records, which actually records him like this, saying that he is a married man.

It can be said that Dong Fangshuo at that time was a man who liked to change wives very much. He recorded in the audit that he had changed 18 wives. Moreover, every wife is a very beautiful young girl, so she was highly valued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, because he was a very humorous person, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was rewarded by Dong Fangshuo.

Dong Fangshuo actually changes his wife every year, and then changes this wife. In the future, he will give all his money to the divorced wife as a breakup fee, so basically every wife will have a lot of money, but it is rumored that Dong Fangshuo will change wives every year. It is said that he gave the money to this wife because Dong Fangshuo wanted to keep himself awake, so he would give away all his money and remind him with such things.

However, it is precisely because of the grotesque way that Dong Fangshuo persuaded the then Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty that he was able to stay very seriously and persuaded the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty so correctly. However, Sima Qian recorded the situation in Dong Fangshuo at that time in Historical Records. For a historian whose historical facts are so rigorous and accurate, I think this matter should be relatively credible.
