Leona Moretti thought she was saving her brother’s life when she agreed to marry New York’s most feared mafia boss.
She was wrong.
Dante Rizzo didn’t take her out of mercy. He took her because she was promised to him. Sold by her own brother like a piece of flesh, packaged with a smile and a wedding ring. And Leona walked willingly into the trap.
Now she wears his name. Sleeps in his bed. Lives in a mansion guarded like a prison.
But he doesn’t touch her.
Not yet.
He watches.
He waits.
He burns.
Dante is cold, cruel, and unreadable...until she disobeys him. Until she presses the wrong button. Until the mask cracks and she sees what he really is:
A man obsessed. Possessive. Completely unhinged when it comes to her.
But Leona has secrets of her own. Like the fact that she may not be a Moretti at all. And her entire life? A carefully constructed lie hiding a truth soaked in blood and betrayal.
She’s not just a pawn in a mafia game.
She’s a daughter of the deadliest name the underworld ever buried.
And Dante?
He’s not planning to let her go.
Not when he finally has the one thing he's been denied his entire life.
Her.
At the recording studio of a divorce reality show, when Logan Barnes, the superstar, catches a fallen headset for me, he subconsciously takes my hand and kisses it.
The thing is, the livestreaming camera is still rolling.
The kiss leaves the entire Internet in chaos. After all, I'm not Logan's ex-wife in this reality show.
Everyone can't wait to see me break down and get jealous to the point that I'll keep pestering my actual ex-husband, Eddie Hancock.
But right after the reality show is over, Logan and I become the most envied Internet couple.
Before we submit our college applications, I help our homeroom teacher hand out each student's sealed official records envelope as the class monitor.
But the class belle, Vivian Nash, says she's an art student who's about to debut as a celebrity. To thank everyone for taking care of her, she asks the whole class to tear open their sealed envelopes and slip one of her glamor shots inside so they can "share in her good luck."
My boyfriend, Brandon Dunn, immediately steps up as her childhood friend. He says he doesn't just want one of her photos, but he also wants her autograph on his envelope.
Afraid something might go wrong, I immediately warn him that opening the sealed envelope could negatively affect his application to Caldoria University's School of Foreign Service.
Before I can even finish speaking, Brandon kicks me hard in the stomach.
The other students laugh and mock me. "You're just stirring up trouble for no reason. Everyone knows what you're really thinking. You're just afraid Vivian will get back together with your boyfriend!"
I'm so furious I can't even find the words.
But due to my responsibility as the class monitor, I call our homeroom teacher over and forcefully stop the absurd stunt.
Later, everyone gets into their dream colleges. Well, everyone except for Vivian.
At our class reunion six months later, Vivian suddenly bursts into tears in front of the entire class.
She accuses loudly, "Why did you isolate me? It's your fault I made a mistake on my college application!"
I'm dumbfounded.
Suddenly, she grabs me by the throat and forces poisoned liquor down my throat. I die before I can be saved.
After my death, Brandon and our classmates all defend Vivian. They even paint me as the class bully. Meanwhile, she goes viral by livestreaming her sob story and quickly becomes a rising celebrity.
When I open my eyes again, I'm back at the moment Brandon is eagerly playing the gallant knight backing up his damsel.
This time, I take the initiative and hand him his sealed envelope. "I think Vivian is right. It'd be nice to keep one of her photos as a souvenir."

The 100th time Dexter Carrington ditches me to help my best friend with her lab work, I write the final line in my diary and break up with him.
Dexter is exasperated, to say the least. "I genuinely don't know how your amygdala is wired. Your emotions have completely bulldozed your rational thinking."
My best friend, Brianna Holt, laughs. "That's cruel. You're insulting her intelligence in words she can't even understand."
She's right. I don't understand. The two of them dominate the biology department rankings every year, taking first and second place, and are the kind of prodigies even their professors defer to.
I'm just an ordinary student at the music school next door. When they talk about how cells have their own rhythms, the only thing I can think to ask is what time signature those rhythms are in.
Dexter always hates that. "If you don't understand, don't chime in."
So now I listen. I don't chime in anymore. Because the first page of this diary reads, "Today is my birthday, but Dexter chose to go over data with Brianna.
"By the time this diary is full, I'm leaving him for good."
The beauty of 'Nah, I’d Derail Canon' lies in how it flips the script on classic storytelling tropes with a smirk. Instead of the protagonist dutifully following the 'chosen one' arc or playing by the rules of fate, this story revels in chaos—characters actively sabotage their own destinies, mock prophecies, and treat the 'grand narrative' like a sandbox to wreck. It’s not just about breaking the fourth wall; it’s about bulldozing through it with a wink.
What really hooks me is how it turns power fantasies on their head. Typical isekai or shonen heroes grind to become unstoppable, but here, the MC’s 'power' is their refusal to play along. Side characters might groan as the plot crumbles, but that’s the joy—it’s a love letter to fans exhausted by predictable arcs. The humor’s sharp, too, poking fun at everything from 'training montages' to 'villain monologues.' It’s like the story’s whispering, 'What if we just… didn’t?' and running with that energy.
The plot of 'Nah, I’d Derail Canon' is a wild ride from start to finish! It follows this protagonist who’s fully aware they’re stuck in a cliché story and decides to flip everything on its head. Instead of following the destined path, they actively sabotage every major plot point, turning what should’ve been a straightforward narrative into absolute chaos. The supporting characters are left scrambling because nothing goes according to 'canon' anymore, and the protagonist’s sheer audacity becomes the driving force of the story.
What I love most is how the story plays with meta-humor and fourth-wall breaks. The protagonist’s commentary on tropes is hilarious, and their actions create ripple effects that even the author didn’t see coming. By the end, the original 'canon' is so derailed that it’s unrecognizable, leaving readers wondering if the protagonist was the hero or the villain all along. It’s a refreshing take on storytelling that keeps you hooked just to see how far off the rails things will go.
