After Switched Fiancé, I Married a Mafia Boss
3.5M
Here are the rewritten versions in English: --- **Version One (Emphasizing the protagonist's calm power, through details and contrast):** The wedding hall lay in ruins, the air thick with the metallic tang of broken glass and a pervasive despair. Sophia, my bride, was huddled on the floor, her pristine white wedding dress starkly stained with crimson blood, a dull ache radiating from her shoulder. Fear constricted her throat, but as my gaze met hers, a faint, almost hopeful light flickered in her watery eyes. "I'm sorry... I'm late..." Her voice was choked, tinged with unexpressed self-reproach. I simply cupped her face, my fingertips caressing her pale skin, and whispered reassuringly, "Silly girl, all that matters is you're here." My voice was soft, yet it cut through the surrounding chaos. My gaze snapped to Fread, the man she was once betrothed to. It was his enraged hand that had wounded Sophia. A cold killing intent solidified in my eyes, my voice a low murmur from the depths of hell: "You? You dared to hurt her?" Fread's sister, Betty, clung to him, a fresh wound on her arm still bleeding. She shrieked hysterically, "Stay back! Don't come any closer!" Fread, trembling, pulled a handgun from his jacket, its dark muzzle pointed directly at me, his voice distorted by fear: "Get him! Take him down!" My men moved, but I was faster, leaving only a blur. In a flash, Fread's wrist was brutally twisted in my grip. A sickening crunch of bone, a cry of pain from him, and the gun clattered into my palm. Without hesitation, I pressed the dark muzzle against Fread's forehead, cold murder churning in my eyes. "One more step, and I'll blow your damn brains out." Sophia's voice, fragile and urgent, but clear, reached my ears: "Cedric, please stop! Fread's father is a capo, a confidant of the Godfather! If you harm him, the Godfather will never let you go!" Her body trembled slightly, clearly envisioning the consequences. "With me here, don't be afraid. Everything will be fine." I gently stroked her hair, my eyes never leaving Fread's ashen face. Just then, the grand double doors of the wedding hall were pushed open by an unseen force. Fread's father, a man of high standing and unassailable presence, stepped into the hall. His appearance instantly plunged the noisy scene into a deathly silence. Fread's father's gaze was like a laser, slowly sweeping over my wrist, finally settling on my custom-made watch – etched with the family crest of the "Underboss." "That watch... it's the Underboss's exclusive token!" His voice was deep, laced with an undeniable shock. Sophia gasped, her pupils constricting. She looked at me, incredulous, her eyes filled with questions: "You... you are the Underboss?" Fread and Betty, like drowning people grasping at a final straw, screamed hysterically, trying to drown out the revelation: "He's lying! He's a fraud! Kill him!" In that split second, another figure appeared at the doorway. It was Sophia's true father, the Godfather himself, the head of the entire family. The entire wedding hall, at this moment, truly fell into a profound silence. The Godfather's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, carrying an unquestionable authority. He looked coldly at Fread's family, his voice as icy as winter wind: "Apologize to Sophia." Then, he turned to Sophia, his words merciless and definitive: "You are no longer a Collins." Those words struck Sophia like thunder. She flinched violently, as if all strength had been drained from her, her heart shattering, plummeting into an abyss of despair. My hand, in her most fragile and helpless moment, clasped hers tightly. The warmth and firmness in my palm were my silent vow in a world turned upside down. We were truly linked now, disregarding everything, standing side by side in this family conflict woven from blood and an uncertain future. --- **Version Two (Incorporating more psychological description and emotional rendering):** A torn wedding dress, a blood-stained shoulder—Sophia lay in the center of the ravaged wedding hall, the air thick with the sickly sweet scent of blood and desperate roars. Those eyes, once so brilliant, were now brimming with terror, yet when I looked at her, they miraculously flickered with a fragile dependency. "I'm sorry... I couldn't get here in time..." Her voice was hoarse, tears instantly blurring her vision—a self-reproach for failing to protect me. I leaned down, gently drew her into my embrace, my fingertips tracing the contours of her cheek, as if comforting the most precious, fragile object: "Silly girl, all that matters is you're here. Nothing else matters." My gaze, however, had already turned into an ice-sharpened blade, piercing Fread. This man, who once boasted of being her fiancé, now had a face contorted with rage, the bloodstains on his hand starkly visible. He hurt her. This single thought exploded in my mind, burning away all my rationality. "You... you dared to hurt her?" My voice was terrifyingly deep, like a judgment from the nine layers of hell. Fread's sister, Betty, her sharp-featured face also bearing a blood mark, clung to Fread like a startled hyena, screaming, "Stay back! He's insane!" Fread, utterly terrified by my gaze, pulled the short gun from his waistband, its dark muzzle trembling as he pointed it at me, roaring with false bravado, "Kill him! All of you, get him!" But my movements had already transcended human limits. My men had barely begun to stir when I blurred into a shadow, appearing ghost-like beside Fread. He didn't even have time to pull the trigger; with a crisp snap of bone, a bone-deep agony shot through his wrist, the handgun flying from his grasp, caught steadily by me. The barrel was instantly pressed, cold, against his sweat-slicked forehead. "Dare to utter another word, and I'll let you taste the splatter of your own brains." My tone was calm, yet it contained an awe-inspiring, chilling murderous intent. Sophia's body trembled violently in my arms. She struggled to lift her head, her tear-filled eyes wide with urgency: "Cedric, stop! Please! Fread's father is the Godfather's confidant—you can't kill him! Otherwise, the Godfather will find you, and you'll never escape!" Her voice was tearful, a genuine expression of profound worry. "Don't be afraid," I whispered in her ear, my fingers gently stroking her hair, like soothing a frightened kitten. But my eyes remained locked on Fread, devoid of any warmth. In this moment of tense, deadly silence, the grand doors of the wedding hall were slowly pushed open by a heavy, invisible force. A figure, as massive as a mountain, carrying an suffocating aura of power, slowly strode in. It was Fread's father, a man whose mere presence could make one gasp for air. His gaze swept from the wreckage on the floor, to Fread's disheveled state, and finally, like a lightning bolt, it precisely struck the custom-made wristwatch on my wrist. "That watch... it's the exclusive token of the 'Underboss'!" His voice echoed through the silent hall, shaking all who heard it, filled with undisguised shock and bewilderment. Sophia froze in my arms. Her breathing abruptly hitched, her eyes, staring at me, now held not only terror but an incredulous mixture of shock and disbelief, as if struck by a bolt of lightning: "You... you are the Underboss?" Fread and Betty, as if clutching a final lifeline, had their fear replaced by distorted hope. They shrieked hysterically: "He's a liar! He's no Underboss! Kill him!" Their voices were like two dying beasts, making their last struggle. However, their clamor was soon completely obliterated by another descending figure. Sophia's father, the true, supreme Godfather, arrived like a deity. His appearance instantly solidified the air in the entire hall; everyone's heartbeats seemed to cease. "Apologize to Miss Collins." The Godfather's voice was devoid of emotion, cold, yet possessed absolute authority that commanded immediate obedience. Fread's family instantly fell silent. Then, he turned to Sophia, a complex flicker in his deep eyes, finally settling into cold resolve: "You are no longer a Collins." That sentence, like a sharp blade, cruelly pierced Sophia's heart. She shuddered violently, her body turning cold in my arms, as if all light and warmth had been drained from her in that instant. Her heart shattered into a million pieces. She was abandoned, disowned by her only blood relative, at the worst possible moment, her ties completely severed. My arm tightened around her even more. My hand, grasping her cold, trembling one, offered endless warmth and strength. In this moment of utter upheaval, these hands became her sole reliance, and my silent declaration to the world—no matter what happened, she would forever be my bride. We truly stood together now, facing this suddenly inverted world, and a future that was unknown but from which we would never retreat. After her sister swaps fiancés and forces her to marry a "bankrupt" man, Sophia accepts her fate—only to learn her new husband is heir to a powerful mafia empire. While her sister spirals in regret, Sophia finds unexpected love and loyalty in her arranged marriage. The one they cast aside becomes the one who rises.

Evil Bride vs. The CEO's Secret Mom
The second the pool water rose over my lashes, I heard Beth’s stiletto heels crush the crystal champagne tower. “Loyalty?” She crouched at the pool’s edge, the tip of her scissors pressing against the neckline of my wedding gown—its silver gleam stabbing my eyes. “You stole Edward from me for three years, and now you hide behind a chastity monument?” Foam dripped from my chin into the water—green-tinged, like tears gone sour. Guests formed a half-circle around the pool, phones raised, lenses fixed on my soaked lace bodice—where a small patch of dark red bloomed: skin torn open by her fingernails moments earlier. “Look closely.” I seized her wrist—and yanked. The scissors plunged with a dull *thunk* to the pool floor. As Beth shrieked and tumbled in, I whipped off my veil and looped it tight around her throat. At the explosion of water, every livestream feed flickered—three seconds of static snow. A backdoor I’d planted last night, deep inside the villa’s security system. She thrashed, choking, pearls flying from her ears just before vanishing down the drain. I leaned in, lips brushing her burning ear: “Stepmother dear… In your husband’s study safe—the third compartment—you’ll find seven paternity reports.” A sharp, rhythmic *click-clack* echoed from the doorway—leather on marble. Not Edward’s usual Oxford shoes. Boots. Military issue. I wiped foam from my eyes and looked up. Framed in the arched entryway, backlit by the sun, stood a man in black tactical gear. A rusted copper bell dangled from his left ear. The faded eagle insignia on his shoulder patch matched—exactly—the one pinned to the lapel of the officer who stood beside my father’s casket fifteen years ago. Beth froze. Her nails dug deep into my forearm. “...Colonel Lin? You were declared KIA in Afghanistan.” He didn’t glance at her. His gaze locked onto my left hand—my ring finger. Where a diamond should have glinted, only a faint pale line remained. “Anna.” His voice was raw, like sandpaper dragged over corroded iron. “Your mother’s last words were this: *So long as that ring remains, the one who took the fall for you hasn’t died yet.*” The pool water shimmered—an unnatural, electric blue. I looked down. Beneath my waterlogged wedding skirt, glowing digits rose slowly from the depths: **07:23:11** Seven hours, twenty-three minutes, eleven seconds—left on the countdown.
The Lost Quarterback Returns
The instant I plunged into the pool, Isabella’s scream lodged in her throat—like a violin string abruptly snapped. Three meters underwater, her skirt billowed like black seaweed, tangling around my wrist. I seized her ankle and hauled her upward; my fingertips brushed an old scar along the inside of her calf—the one she’d gotten at seven, when she shoved me into a glass door to snatch the strawberry cake from my hands. Breaking the surface, she choked and coughed, curling into a shrimp-like hunch, her mascara smeared into two bruised streaks beneath her eyes. On the poolside, my mother gripped her champagne flute until it clicked and groaned in her hand. My father stood crookedly, his tie askew, his gaze locked onto the mole behind my left ear—the exact spot marked “distinguishing mole” on his twenty-year-old sperm donation records. “Asher?” My mother’s voice trembled. “You… you were placed in foster care at five…” “By you,” I said, wiping water from my face. My soaked work vest clung tightly to my chest, revealing an old, worm-like scar just below my collarbone. “That day, Isabella wore a new dress—and tossed candy wrappers at me through the car window.” Sirens pierced the party music. Two officers stepped forward, cuffs glinting. Before they could speak, Isabella grabbed my arm: “Wait—he saved me!” Before the words fully left her lips, her phone slipped from her drenched skirt pocket. The screen lit up with an unsent text draft: [Dad, Asher broke in again today—to steal the ring. This time I caught him on camera opening your safe…] I looked down at her. Water dripped from her jawline into the pool, rippling outward in quiet, concentric circles. Turns out the sharpest blade is always hidden inside the sweetest wrapper.
Medical Genius Is Not Someone to Mess with
The glass doors of the hospital lobby shattered inward just as I crouched in the corner of the pediatric IV area, swabbing the palms of a little girl with a fever using an alcohol pad. She was delirious with heat, clutching the cuff of my white coat. Her voice was faint: “Sister… are you the one who gave me the injection last time—the one that didn’t hurt?” I didn’t answer. Just pressed the pad even more gently. Then—screams tore through the air. “Lin Wan! You actually have the nerve to show up here?!” My ex-husband, Chen Zhe, seized his former wife’s arm. His wedding ring still gleamed on his finger, blindingly bright. “You’ve brought *him*—some random man—to steal our child?!” Behind him stood a man in an Armani suit, his gold watch catching the light as he calmly adjusted his cufflinks—her current husband, Xie Yan. “Steal?” Xie Yan smiled faintly—soft-spoken, yet the entire hall fell half a beat silent. “Dr. Chen, the third coronary bypass you performed? I stepped in and completed it. Dare you claim your daughter is standing here today because of *your* hands—hands that have trembled for three years?” A murmur rippled through the crowd. I kept swabbing the girl’s palms. The sharp scent of alcohol spread like a silent fuse. Then—she seized. Not from the fever. It was status epilepticus—the EEG report had just flashed in. The monitor shrieked. Red alarm lights pulsed across the tiled floor, like blood beating. The head nurse rushed over, shoving me aside: “Hurry—call Chief Lin!” No one answered. Because Chief Lin wasn’t in the lobby. She was inside the ICU, gowned in full isolation gear, kneeling on one knee—barehanded, steadying an ECMO pump on the verge of failure. The seventh-generation artificial heart-lung system she’d personally modified. The only person in the hospital qualified to recalibrate its parameters. Meanwhile, in the center of the lobby, Chen Zhe pointed straight at me: “*Her!* That new night-shift nurse! She altered my daughter’s medication records yesterday—*in secret!*” Xie Yan turned—and locked eyes with me. Three seconds passed. He removed his watch and tossed it to his assistant. “Clear Operating Room One. Then call Director Shen—and tell him: ‘Qingluan is awake.’” Silence crashed down—absolute, suffocating. Even the monitor’s shrill beep seemed to stutter. I finally released the girl’s hand, rose, and smoothed my white coat—its hem stained with fresh, glistening alcohol, shimmering cold-blue under the lights. I pulled off my mask. At my left earlobe, a silver earring shaped like a needle caught the light—the insignia of the National Young Neurosurgeon Championship, melted down and recast by my own hands. Xie Yan walked toward me. His dress shoes crushed rumors beneath each step. He stopped before me, bent, and picked up the alcohol pad I’d dropped—his fingertip brushing mine, damp with antiseptic. Then, in full view of everyone, he gently traced the old scar running across the back of my hand—the one carved by splintered bone three years ago, in a field hospital in Africa, when I’d held open a child’s neck wound with my bare hands to extract shrapnel lodged in the carotid artery. “Dr. Lin Wan,” he said softly—yet the chandeliers above hummed in resonance. “It’s time you returned to the operating table.” The LED screen mounted high in the lobby flickered once. Then switched automatically—to live surgery feed. The surgical lamp flared. A pair of gloved hands lifted the titanium neuro-dissector—the only three such instruments in existence. The camera panned slowly upward. Revealing a face calm to the point of austerity. And eyes—washed clean with alcohol, yet forever stained with blood.
His Goddess Won't Wait Anymore
The day she signed the divorce agreement, she wore a white dress—like attending a funeral. The pen hovered over the signature line for three seconds. It didn’t descend. The doctor pushed open the door: “Mrs. Lin, your husband’s prenatal exam report is ready—the fetus is perfectly healthy.” She lifted her gaze—and at the end of the corridor, he was crouched before the pregnant woman, one hand resting gently on her swollen belly, the other tying her shoelace. Sunlight slanted through the glass window, gilding the undersides of his lowered lashes—tender, blinding. In her hand, the ultrasound slip bore a diagnosis from the same hospital, same time, another examination room: 【Advanced Endometriosis; Natural Conception Probability < 0.3%】 【Urgent surgery recommended—otherwise, permanent infertility is inevitable】 That slip—she’d clutched it yesterday in trembling silence, walked out of the gynecology clinic alone. No one knew. Not even him. She folded the divorce agreement neatly and tucked it into the deepest compartment of her bag. When she turned, her stiletto heel shattered a mosaic of light across the floor. No one saw her pause at the corner pharmacy after leaving the hospital and buy three boxes of ovulation-inducing injections. No one saw her return that night to the hollow shell of their marital home, open the safe, and lift out a sandalwood box—inside, seven DNA comparison reports, each dated across different years. The earliest, stamped 2018, bore the stark title: *“Negative Biological Parentage Conclusion Between Mr. Lin Yanzhou and Ms. Su Wan”* And “Su Wan”? His current fiancée—the woman hailed across the internet as his “life-saving angel” after his car accident-induced amnesia. Her phone vibrated. An unknown number sent a photo: A storm-lashed night. An ambulance’s rotating red light. He, drenched in blood, lifted onto a stretcher. And standing beneath an umbrella in the rain—her profile, sharp as a blade carved in obsidian— Not Su Wan. Me. I lowered my head and wrote a single line on the bathroom mirror with crimson lipstick—fresh, vivid as blood: **His Goddess Didn’t Wait — She Rewrote the Script.** At the birthday gala, the crystal chandeliers burned so fiercely they stung the eyes. He entered on Su Wan’s arm. The entire room rose, applauding. I glided forward, champagne flute in hand, skirt sweeping over scattered roses—stopping three paces away. He smiled. “Qingyi. Long time.” I smiled back—soft, effortless—and raised an old pocket watch. Its lid sprang open. No hands inside. Just a tiny chip, pulsing faint blue light. “Lin Yanzhou,” I said, voice low—but the ballroom fell utterly silent, breath held, “guess why that voice memo you recorded for Su Wan… never sends?” His face went pale. I tilted my head, the smile freezing, then fading. “Because I hear every word you say.” “From the very first lie.” *“God made me His puppet—but He forgot to teach me how to kneel and love a liar.”* The rim of the champagne flute touched my lips. I tipped my head back and drank it all. Behind me, the main screen flared to life— Footage from *every* secret meeting he’d had with Su Wan over the past three years: timestamps, locations, real-time subtitles, precise to the millisecond. The final frame froze on last night’s private monologue in his study: *“As long as Qingyi doesn’t investigate—this marriage stays unshaken.”* I snapped the watch shut. Turned. Walked away. Each heel struck the marble like a countdown hitting zero. —Revenge isn’t the end. It’s her shattering the altar herself—then picking up every shard, and assembling them, piece by deliberate piece, into a throne.

I Shine Without Him
Emma was working the night shift at the convenience store when the glass door slammed open. A blood-soaked man staggered in and locked the door behind him. She recognized those eyes—three years ago, at the crash site, he had held her dying body and wept until his voice broke. Back then, she was called Lena Walker. Now she’s Emma Kim, living under a new identity, even her heartbeat trained to lie. "Don’t call the police," he gasped, knuckles pressing against the counter. "They’re trying to kill me… because of you." Footsteps echoed outside. Three shadows passed across the window. Without hesitation, she lifted the counter flap and pulled him into the back. She brought antiseptic, gauze, a needle and thread. Her hands were steady—not like someone saving a life, but fulfilling a fate. He stared at her. "You’ve changed." "And aren’t you alive too?" she shot back coldly. "Didn’t you swear to die with me after I was gone?" Before the words faded, gunfire exploded outside. Glass shattered. A man kicked the door open, gun aimed at her head: "Walker bloodline—you're due to pay." Lucas lunged. A struggle erupted. A bullet grazed her cheek. Blood dripped onto his lips. He suddenly smiled. "Remember this taste? You once said blood was your favorite perfume." When the police arrived, they found the two of them sitting in a pool of blood, laughing at each other like lunatics. The media captured it all. The headline rocked the city: *Behind the Nightclub Shooting: Lovers or Accomplices?* But only Emma sensed something was wrong. In the moment before he lost consciousness, he slipped her a note that read: *You’re not Lena. Who are you?* And on the last page of her diary, written in unfamiliar left-handed script: "This time, I’ll kill you."
