Reborn: I Chose a Homeless Godfather
In her past life, Sophia was abused by her husband and betrayed to death by her closest kin. Reborn, she returns to the life crossroads of the "blind husband selection." This time, she does not choose the man she picked in her previous life—the mafia godfather Mark—but instead selects a seemingly utterly useless drifter, Leon, to be her husband. Amid everyone's mockery and contempt, Sophia fights back from the brink of despair, growing from a victim into a strategist. Yet the "good-for-nothing husband" she chose is in truth a man in hiding—the supreme figure who strikes terror into the entire North American underworld.

Episode 1
Sophia wakes in her old life burning up, drugged with an aphrodisiac while her sister Kara sneers that she'll record her ruin and see if Mark still wants her. Left to be assaulted, Sophia swears that in her next life she will never be a pawn again.
Then she's back at the McKay blind husband selection. She remembers drawing Mark last time—and that Kara remembers too. Kara grabs the right to choose first and takes Mark, the powerful godfather, leaving Sophia to pick the scarred homeless man, Leon, and walk away from the power game.
Episode 2
Sophia stands by her choice of Leon, refusing her father's order to choose again. He disowns her on the spot, and she and Leon are thrown out of the McKay house. Kara taunts them about dumpster dinners, but Sophia takes Leon's hand and vows no regrets in this life.
Leon warns he can't even feed himself, let alone protect her, yet Sophia is already planning ahead—she'll sell her necklace and earrings to open a small shop. Meanwhile, Leon's hidden men watch in disbelief as the supreme godfather actually goes through with marrying a woman everyone calls a hobo.
Episode 3
Alone with Leon, Sophia admits she chose the poorest man to escape the power game fast—but also because of something she saw in his eyes, something she wanted to keep. She proposes selling her jewelry to rent a small shop, maybe selling flowers or coffee. Leon refuses to sell his wife's jewelry to survive.
When his phone buzzes with word that the Volkovs are meeting tonight, Leon faces a choice: chase the only lead or let Sophia attend the family dinner alone. She tells him to go. He quietly orders two men to guard her—anyone who touches her won't live to see sunrise.
Episode 4
At the family dinner, Sophia arrives in a cheap dress and endures the mockery of Mark's circle. When she slaps Mark's wife, the room turns on her—her father calls her a disgrace and says that the moment she chose the hobo, she stopped being his daughter. Mark offers a cruel bargain: crawl and kiss his shoes, or her "loser husband" becomes a corpse by morning.
Sophia refuses and threatens him instead. Mark decides to handle her himself and has her dragged to the backyard, ignoring her father's pleas to let her live—he has something far more interesting in mind.
Episode 5
In the backyard, Mark's men move to strip Sophia and photograph her, promising the dark web would pay for the show. Mark taunts her about the necklace, which he claims belongs to the family, and crushes her plan for the shop—her and Leon's hope for the future.
Sophia fights back, biting and threatening anyone who comes close. Mark, amused by her defiance, decides to break her by destroying what she loves: he orders a crew into the slums to find Leon, cut off his fingers and toes one by one, and feed him to the fish. Sophia screams that it's her fault.
Episode 6
Mark's men place bets as the "show" begins, promising Sophia a long night and fighting over who gets her first. She bites one of them, and he threatens to choke her, telling her to listen for her loser husband's last scream—the price, he says, of crossing Mark.
But the men sent to kill Leon are already dead. A voice cuts through the yard: someone asks how he's still alive. Leon has arrived. "Every hand that touched her is coming off," he says, and the men who tormented Sophia realize the hobo they mocked is something far more dangerous.
Episode 7
Leon reaches Sophia and apologizes for coming too late. She's stunned he's alive—the scream she heard on the phone was the men sent to kill him. He tells her it's time for the bastards to pay.
Mark's men open fire, but Leon moves through them, and Mark's threats collapse into panic as his gunmen fall. Cornered, Mark grabs Sophia and threatens to kill her if Leon doesn't show himself. The man everyone dismissed as a drifter is suddenly the one holding the entire yard in his hands.
Episode 8
Mark can't process it—how does a hobo fight like this? He warns Leon that his uncle is the Commission chairman and that killing him means the whole mafia hunts Leon down. Leon tells him to call his uncle and see which men dare protect him.
Sophia begs Leon to run before the backup arrives, but he stays. Then Tom—the Commission chairman's number one killer, the grim reaper—walks in. Mark gloats, promising to take Sophia in front of Leon while he dies. Leon doesn't flinch, and Tom sizes up his target.
Episode 9
Tom moves to carve Leon apart, but Leon is faster. In one blow, the grim reaper is dead, and Mark's confidence shatters. Sophia, watching, says it aloud: her husband defeated the grim reaper in a single strike.
Mark's uncle, the Commission chairman, finally arrives and demands to know who dared touch his man. Mark points at Leon and begs for him to be shot. The uncle's men—a hundred guns—surround them, and Sophia fears they're cornered. Leon stays calm, saying he came expecting the Volkovs, not just one Italian causing trouble in his city.
Watch as Sophia and Leon walk out of that bloody backyard and into a war neither of them can back down from.
