Transmigrated Into the Underworld: I Pushed My Playboy Adoptive Father to Godfather
Isabella, a female commander of a medieval empire, dies and transmigrates into Elena, the long-lost legitimate daughter of the modern mafia Vittori Family. Betrayed by the fake daughter Camilla and treated as a marriage pawn by her birth parents, Elena publicly defies a forced marriage to a sixty-eight-year-old don—and begs the old Godfather to give her a new father. She chooses Alessandro, the neglected, dissolute eldest son—solely because he bears the exact face of the emperor who once stood by her in battle. Alessandro accepts her. Elena vows to make him Godfather. She reforms him: breaks his addictions, trains him like her soldiers. At the mafia assembly, Alessandro's transformation stuns everyone. Camilla challenges Elena with a fake sword technique. Elena draws her blade and unleashes the complete swordsmanship she created in her past life—a single strike shatters every goblet and window in the hall. The crowd finally realizes: this underestimated daughter is about to upend the entire Vittori power structure.
Story Guide
Episode 1
Isabella, the empire's first female Grand Marshal, dies on the battlefield and wakes centuries later inside Elena—the long-lost daughter of the Vittori crime family, brought home only three days ago. She quickly learns the old Elena was bullied to death.
When an antique breaks, Camilla blames Elena, and their parents believe the adopted daughter without hesitation. "I'm your real daughter. Why won't you believe me?" Elena pleads, but they lock her in a confinement room with no food. The old Elena died there, wounded and alone.
Now someone far more dangerous is wearing her face—and she refuses to be anyone's victim again.

Episode 2
Elena slaps a servant who mocks her, then faces the family's real betrayal: her parents plan to hand her to old Morano, a sixty-eight-year-old don who has already buried three wives, in exchange for three shipping lines.
Her father insists she has no say. Elena refuses and strikes back, making it clear that if she'd truly meant harm, it wouldn't have been a chair that took the hit.
Then she turns to the Godfather himself, calling the deal what it is—a coward dumping his chips—and asks for one thing: the right to choose another father.

Episode 3
The Godfather is intrigued by Elena's boldness, but her birth father rages that she has no right to replace him. Elena's answer cuts clean: he was about to sell her off, so why should she still call him father?
She picks Alessandro—the family's notorious playboy who drinks, gambles, and raises lions he can't even control. Everyone warns she'll end up as lion food. She doesn't flinch.
Alone with him, Alessandro admits he's the most useless man in the family. Elena doesn't explain. She remembers an emperor who once told her the battlefield was where she belonged—and promised to protect her.

Episode 4
Alessandro offers Elena Parisian dresses, but she wants none of it—she asks for a gun. Jewelry can't protect her; a weapon can. Amused, he hands her one and shows her the safety, telling her to shoot anyone who bullies her.
Elena proves a natural shot, and the era's power fascinates her. The empire is gone, but the game never ended—there's no throne here, only the Godfather's seat.
Alessandro has the name and the Godfather's favor. All he lacks is discipline. To put him in that seat, she decides, she must first strip away his toys. A great commander never meets force with force.
Episode 5
Elena stages an accident: she walks into the lion arena, and when the beasts lunge, she fires three fatal shots. Alessandro rushes in terrified, and she clings to him—she just got a father and doesn't want to die so soon.
Furious, he orders every lion removed, none spared. Elena then gently corners him about his drinking and gambling, asking for the address so she can find him when she misses him. Rather than let her near such places, he gives them up and stays home.
When she suggests sending food to the Godfather, Alessandro refuses—the old man only ever scolds him. Elena hints that may not be the whole truth.
Episode 6
At the family table, Alessandro is absent again, and everyone assumes he's off lion fighting. They mock him as a shame to the family, pushing for the second son to take over the business. Elena coolly reminds them she, at least, wasn't sold to a sixty-eight-year-old man for three shipping routes.
Then the Godfather gives her a challenge: next week the Vittori family hosts the grand gathering of mafia families, where each house shows its strength. If Elena can make Alessandro appear like a proper Vittori, the Houston oil shipping terminal is hers.
Everyone calls it impossible. Elena accepts—training is what she does best. One week is enough.
Episode 7
Training begins at five in the morning. Elena drills Alessandro like a soldier—attention, feet together, back straight, chin in, eyes forward, not a twitch—and holds him there for two hours. When he begs that he can't feel his legs, she tells him that's good, then he won't feel the pain.
She burns his favorite shirt, saying it made him look unreliable, and tells him this is who he was always meant to be.
Meanwhile, Camilla's side prepares a stolen treasure: pages of the Divine Judgment sword style tome, supposedly created by Isabella herself. Camilla vows to perform it and win the don's favor.
Episode 8
The banquet is about to begin, and Alessandro still hasn't arrived. The family openly mocks him—drunk again, unreliable, unworthy of leading the Vittori business—and pushes the second son as the real heir. They sneer at Elena too, a little girl pinning her hopes on a lost cause.
Her father refuses to wait. Even if Alessandro shows, they say, he'll walk in in a floral shirt with a bottle in hand.
Five more minutes, Elena asks. One week was enough, she insists.
Then the doors open: Mr. Alessandro has arrived.
Episode 9
Alessandro walks in transformed—sharp, composed, unrecognizable. The hall is stunned: is this really the most notorious playboy of all the mafia families? The Godfather honors his promise, and the Houston oil shipping terminal belongs to Elena. Her father protests, but the Godfather silences him: the assets are his to give.
Then Camilla unveils her gift—a live display of the Divine Judgment sword style, trained from eight-million-dollar pages. The don, who admires Grand Marshal Isabella above all, watches closely.
Elena's answer is quiet and devastating: her gift is the complete Divine Judgment sword style.
Episode 10
The hall laughs. A wild girl like Elena doesn't even know what that sword style is. Someone vows that if she can truly perform it, he'll stand on his head, eat dirt, and run three naked laps around the hall.
Elena isn't rattled—she only complains the sword is too light and dull to show the style's real power. She asks for the medieval long sword from the Godfather's collection.
The moment she takes her stance, the room shifts. This is on a completely different level from Camilla's display. The Divine Judgment sword style she created with her own hands was never meant for show—it was made for killing, and one strike is about to prove it.
