Touba Yu/Li Chang Yu ㅡ Fanfiction

Beyond Obsession

Touba Yu couldn't understand himself anymore. He remembered the feeling of fury he had felt, the desire to leave. The desire to abandon her. He remembered how much he had been used...

But if it weren't for what he had just done, he would be going crazy at home, unable to think, a devastating loneliness spreading and corroding his chest in a way he hated to feel.

When he realized, he had already made a plan. Quick, perfect, and absolutely senseless and unreasonable.

Li Yao was looking at him sideways while grabbing the medicine to wake her up. But he hesitated.

— My Lord, are you sure about this? I don't think she has any more use to you. — His master remained silent, but opened his eyes. He seemed irritated by the question. Li Yao continued. — We can still return her to the emperor and let her have the baby.

Touba Yu suddenly wanted to massage his temples. He rolled his eyes.

Patience...

How could he gather the strength to abandon her? How could she no longer be useful? Even if she wasn’t useful now... she just needed to calm down, and they would never have problems again. — It was his fantasy.

Touba Yu sighed deeply.

Fantasy.

He knew her too well not to know the possibilities, but he wanted to try to keep her. Besides, with a baby, she would be an easy target. And she would continue causing trouble behind his back, using her power and intelligence to achieve things she couldn't do alone.

Still, he couldn’t risk losing her.

In fact, he didn’t know why he was doing this; it would be easier without her. Weiyoung would be safer with her dead. He would be safer, not that she meant harm to him on purpose, but she couldn't measure the consequences of her actions.

He just...

Sighed, rolled his eyes.

— Out of respect, I will spare her this time. — His apologies... increasingly worn out. — She is loyal enough for that, and that’s enough.

There was silence in the room. Li Yao formed a hole in the back of his master’s braids.

Touba Yu stopped making sense a long time ago, since he started interacting with Li Chang Yu. He spent excessive time with her, in exchange for nothing, and refused to see her as anything more than a pawn.

But he never discarded her.

He was betrayed by her, regardless of the reason.

But with her, he was being... protective. Protective enough to confuse himself with his own words.

Li Yao looked at the vial in his hand and doubted which of the two women was worse for his Majesty. Weiyoung, or Chang Yu.

Suddenly, he felt the porcelain heavy. It seemed to sink in the hollow of his palm as if it carried fate. As if he were about to let go of the rope of chaos.

He would definitely choose not to wake her up, especially with the chance.

Li Chang Yu had become unstable.

Unpredictable.

And the worst of all:

When he finally removed the stopper from the white porcelain, he noticed that Li Chang Yu was beyond his reach. She was beyond his Majesty’s obsession — Touba Yu definitely wasn't obsessed with her. No.

[Touba Yu simply needed her, regardless of her usefulness — This scared him more.]
