Wait, what makes you say one of them is a masochist puppy?

Very bottom of the page before credits...

How many baihe manhua are Lily Club doing at the moment??

39 total
Id say around 25% r complete

Y'all... what's wrong w/ censored kissing...

Do the chinese censor all kissing, or just gay kissing?

All kissing & anything considered "intimate" It's the artist/author/comic studio that censors it

Also I wish people would stop blaming "China" for the censored kisses, it's the webcomic platforms with that rule. China doesn't have any anti-kiss laws lol. Half the time when you see an uncensored kiss on a Chinese comic here, it's because the scanlators got that version from the author's Weibo or something, which is still posted in China.

China is known for censorship and is anti LGBT— of course the lesbian kiss scenes are gonna be censored in the version of the comic that’s posted in China, that’s why China is being blamed. It’s Chinese censorship.

(Edit: I looked it up, and apparently it’s not just same sex kiss scenes, so it at least China isn’t biased? Either way, point still stands; it’s Chinese censorship)

Wrong. China doesn't censor kisses; it's the publication company or the author/artist doing it themselves. Some are stricter like kuaikan (who has all lgbtq content banned from computer browser ver). Also, most of the time the artists posts uncensored versions of kiss scenes and whatnot onto their weibo/afdian or even paywalled behind bilibili. China doesn't even censor LGBTQ stuff, they have no laws against it or supporting it.
(Yes, these are all imos and from what I've seen/experienced so i could very well be wrong, too)

Webcomic platforms are just weird as hell. The webtoon platforms based in Korea are frequently weird too if they aren't explicitly adult-focused. The author of Mage and Demon Queen constantly had issues with Webtoons dot com demanding censorship from her.

Webtoon has never censored kiss scenes. I’m pretty sure the scene that was censored was considered sexual or smthn? I forget the reason, but none of the panels of the two main girls kissing was censored,

Webtoon is ultimately fine w/ kiss scenes just no on-screen sex scenes.

It’s different when censorship happens to a single panel in one comic, versus a handful of comics. It’s not just a platform issue. If China wasn’t against kiss scenes/“obscenity” in general, then there wouldn’t be any need for the sites to censor. Sex sells, people love consuming spicy content, which means the sites make more money. Companies aren’t going to lose out on potential money for no reason.

China isn't really "against" kiss scenes (as long as it's not super intimate), it just breaks social norms; also, they don't care for kiss scenes, not as much as outright porn. Porn itsself is illegal in china iirc.
It's not even a china issue or a platform issue 99.9% of the time. It's just the author/artist themselves self-censoring all the content.

This is my favourite from the BilliBilli baihe TGD scanlates. Probably because it's more than just a vehicle for whatever dynamic/fetish the others cater to.

Reading this comment really opened my eyes. Didn't think i had a bunch of random fetish/dynamic comics im scanlating...

Just why are the chapters so short?!

It's just one person doing the art/story and etc. and the author has another manhua to focus on. I'm sure drawing manhua isn't gonna put the food on the table for them so they also have a full-time job and whatnot. (None of her work is paid so far)

Another group is already scanlating this on mangadex

okay, and? If you want to read their google translate slop, go ahead

Man, those credits pages are getting better and better.

Thanks i put alotta time and effort into each one

looks like L1v picked this up at the same time… but… uh… their summary is a little bit more confusing.

l1v's is just pure google translate lmao(can actually prove). they also got tons of things wrong and yeah
from chapter 1, l1v's turned 文物局 into relic specialist and then like 4 lines later into cultural relic bureau.
it's actually relic agency/organization lmao and idk where they got specialist from.
also in chapter 1, they used "dirty" instead of stuff like sinister, malicious, and/or other words that mean something evil.

theres also a lot more mistranslations here and there, missed context, they also broke a line that was supposed to be read together.

imo l1v's work is unreadable google translate

Hmm, bit confused, is it possibly a typo with "vampire aren't supposed to be afraid"? Because she doesn't look afraid and thus weird that the priestess would comment like that.

That's what i thought too, but the chinese was worded really weirdly imo and i asked one of my other chinese translators and came to the same conclusion as me so

Does anyone have the title of this in Chinese?

i think it's OMEGA HEROINE WANTS HER ALPHA VILLAINESS. it's found in yoru stories

What the hell thats a completely diff manhua

ohh~ pretty and stylish nice. i'm down :D
also what's an audio yuri drama? never heard of it before.

Its like a podcast? Idk imagine watching anime but with audio only. Thats audio drama for ya!
Im guessing this series is similar to "Listening to the Stars"

Nice credits page. Always interesting to see what the scanlators come up with.

Thanks it took me 7 years to come up with this creditpahe design

What's the sound effect over Lan's head as she asks about "if you could live outside the palace would you?". It looks like it says "clohen" lol. All the others are perfectly fine but just that one I'm struggling with.

I'd say "closer"

It's actually closen... i wrote it...

Manhwa always has such fever dream paneling - without pages to anchor shoujo manga panels it just feels floaty lmao

Its a manhua...

What's the deal with censoring kisses nowadays? I don't get it, and it's getting on my nerves.
Ask kuaikan/Bilibili lol

This one is funny and a basically a god send since it's a chinese yuri manwha without that horrendous "perfect" artstyle we see so often

Or maybe it's not chinese, I'm not really sure

It is chinese

laughing at these replies because i was just as "wtf". like, you can speak?! i remember after mine i couldn't move my lips for hours and kept coughing up blood. these CN longstrip lesbians really are built different

Lmao i think chinese are just built different in general. I was practically back to normal around 3 hours after my wisdom teeth removal.

Time to bother the TL: why exactly is Yao Xiangsi(?) the "Patriarch" of her family? Is this some special meaning (afaik Buddhism has some title that is also commonly translated as "Patriarch") as opposed to Matriarch?

heh whoopsies. I didnt even know that word existed until now and ive never heard of it
Ill fix it later today, thanks!
The chinese was “家主” = head of the family

I like how everyone's thinking so deep into it

Looks interesting, does this series have an original novel version?

Yes, It does. You can read it with the bilibili manga mobile app.

(Also, wasn't there a Military tag once? I think A Love Letter for the Marching Puppy had it, unless it's the MaNdElA eFfEcT, wooo~~~)

I was going to add it, but i realized in the story (in the chinese raws) it wasn't stated if this was a military setting. In the story, the author uses "长官" like a whole lot, and that can be translated into like 10 different things depending on context. The military tag wont be added until I'm sure its a military setting.

长官 -> officer, captain, general, commander, leader, chief, and etc.

Before going into this, i thought it was like a police-type setting.

I think we need a slavery tag. The current tags don't cover the material, or prepare you for how uncomfortable it is.

Slavery tag and abuse tags are now added to the series thanks

I'm confused. Why did they feel the need to censor a kiss, and then give us a link to the uncensored art like It's hardcore nudity. Honestly I'm almost more annoyed that they even bothered to put the uncensored version out there. Like we're dying to know what's happening under that blur. It's just a kiss man.

Every kiss scene must be censored on bilibili & kuaikan, it's too lewd ig! (I believe kuaikan is more strict about censorship) It's not censored if you buy the lil "extras" bilbili has (most of the time). The link leads you to someone who likes to uncensor kiss scenes in manhuas. It's not by the artist themselves and instead a fan. I'm not dying to know whats happening under that blur but maybe some people are idk. It's not just a kiss ITS A KISS ON THE 2ND CHAPTER!!! THATS MAGICAL ‼️

Well that was pretty quick.
Also screw a Chinese censorship, as usual.
Thanks for the update!

Lmao theres an uncensored ver of the kiss scene here:

https://weibo.com/7847899104/5070653009433203

How tf is she MC’s step mom? Is/Was she married to MC’s dad?

The stepmother is married to the MC’s dad.

That’s how a person usually gets a stepmother.

dad is super famous rich blah blah blah, basically your average billionaire. Su Man is the mc's stepmom because Su Man married the Mc's dad duhhh. Su Man is like 28-29 (i forgot which one it was) while mc's dad (Ruan MingCheng) is 45+ years old.

In retrospect, I have no idea why I asked that. Ig I was flabbergasted beyond comprehension

How old is MC? Same age or younger?

Mc should be around 20-21 since she's a jr in college
