The Saintly, Loathed Korean Manhwa Top

A shy, straight-laced, socially awkward manga censor bottom VS a pure-hearted, teary-eyed girl top forced to play a domineering seme

There are several kinds of Korean webtoon semes: mosaic-covered, slash-covered... The most pitiable kind is the one covered by a beam of light. At least mosaics and slashes have some shape, and their partners can feel them; their strange patterns even make them quite popular. Of course, the best kind is uncensored.

The seme lead of this story, Kim Taek-min, is one of those beam-of-light semes. He is the most neglected and lowest-ranking kind of Korean webtoon seme, because all he has down there is a single white beam, which his partner can't feel at all.

Imagine the plot reaching the point where the leads are about to get intimate. Their feelings are growing and the mood is heating up, when suddenly the seme whips out a giant glow stick... Its light shines on the bottom's colorful face. The bottom's expression darkens, but he refuses to give up and grabs for it, only for his hand to pass straight through.

Bottom: ? He tries again... There's nothing there!

The scene is so beautiful, it's almost too much to look at.

Cheng Rongguo, the bottom of our story, is mortified beyond words.

His first assignment after joining a fan translation group is to translate the Korean text in a comic into Chinese. He never expected that he'd also have to draw in a dick.

With no choice, he studies it carefully, blushing all the while. Heart pounding and hands trembling, he gives Kim Taek-min a new one, making it far too impressive and virile because he doesn't know any better.

Kim Taek-min is overjoyed! He weeps tears into the Han River. This is the light of hope in his life! He immediately decides to give his virginity to the person who gave him a dick, and uses every means at his disposal to drag Cheng Rongguo into the Korean webtoon, which he's only managed to translate one chapter of so far.

The only way Cheng Rongguo can get out is to finish translating the whole thing, without breaking character.

He's a straight man who graduated from a translation college, dreaming of putting his skills to use after graduation. He thought drawing dicks was already miserable enough, and now he has to experience the plot firsthand, playing the role of a Korean webtoon bottom who has to pay off his debts.

There's nothing he can do. He has to follow the plot one chapter at a time, translating as he goes, and he's close to a complete breakdown.

Next up: Forced to Bind with a Thug and Keep His Life Going Through Cuddling

My name is Qin Hao, nickname Mouse. I'm the doomed top student in a body-swap story. After the college entrance exams, the protagonist bottom stole my grades and all the knowledge in my head, becoming the top scorer in the province.

My original fate was to learn my results, jump from the school building, and die on the spot. My childhood friend, a rich second-generation kid, would hear of my gruesome death, resolve to investigate the truth, and apply to the same top university as the protagonist bottom. Then, at college, his rich-kid identity would be stolen too.

In the end, the protagonist bottom would have not only a privileged family and the halo of a genius, but also a career as a popular celebrity. He would marry the protagonist top, another young, exceptionally gifted rich man, making everyone envious. Love and career: a success on both fronts.

I wasn't reborn, nor did I get a golden finger that let me know what would happen next. The plot just went a little wrong. The moment the protagonist bottom activated the body-swap system and took my grades, his protagonist halo was transferred to me along with his terrible grades.

Thanks to that protagonist halo, I didn't die. But after losing the knowledge I'd spent over a decade studying to acquire, I could never bring myself to pick up a book again. So I learned auto repair from my uncle. Once I finished my training, I opened a little repair shop in town. Since I have delicate, fair skin and look easy to bully, local hoodlums often came around to harass me and smash up the shop if I didn't give in.

With no other choice, I paid my respects to a notorious local thug and took him as my boss. I learned to talk and act like his men so I could protect myself, and became a bona fide thug.

What I didn't know was that the protagonist top was still in high school, studying at County No. 2 High School, where I'd gone before.

The protagonist top and protagonist bottom seemed to have a natural attraction to each other. Now that the protagonist bottom's halo was around my head, I kept running into a handsome, studious-looking boy. But this brat looked down on people like me, and made no effort to hide his disgust and disdain.

What a pretentious little punk. I can't stand people who act so self-important. The first time we met, I gave him a thorough beating.

But the second time we ran into each other, our halos collided, and we both heard an electronic voice in our heads.

"Ding! Congratulations on binding to the Cuddle-to-Survive System. Host Jiang Wenxiao has an estimated 24:00:00 left to live. Target Qin Hao detected within a 500-meter radius. Please make physical contact with Qin Hao to extend your life."

1. The top and bottom are both adults during their romance.

2. The original protagonist bottom will be punished.
