    In his past life, the male protagonist had a harem, only to be betrayed by all of them on the day he achieved sainthood. At that time, besides achieving sainthood, he was also fighting a world boss, so he had no choice but to self-destruct, taking them all down with him. As a result, all the harem members, including the protagonist, were reborn. After their rebirth, the protagonist focused on cultivating his cement-sealed heart. Just read it; this is a gem in this genre. It's likely a single-female-lead story, where the female lead is both a system and the Heavenly Dao. The main reason the protagonist had a harem in his past life was because he was influenced by his surroundings from a young age. The director of the orphanage where he lived before his transmigration had a harem, and he also lacked love. Hmm, why does my description feel less engaging than the novel itself? This is a true "chasing-back-to-the-husband" story, not the type where the male lead eventually forgives his ex-girlfriend (or ex-wife). It's really good.
