Truly has never worked a day in his life

LI YU MY SWEET BOY

When your fish x tyrant romance is sweeter and has more open honest communication than the majority of irl relationships smh

With some difficulty, Li Yu asked, “Your highness, wh-what are you doing?”
His highness wanted to do you, of course.
