He lost control because he never had a woman love and treat him like this before. It was a shock to his system. Also, he lost control because of the strong aphrodisiac wine LMT made for him. While the behavior is unethical, it makes perfect sense. So, no, he didn't "suddenly" lose all control. The time he spent with LMT gradually broke him.

Of course, he'll miss her deeply and he will suffer after the fall-out. But if they follow the book, don't expect him to grovel and beg for forgiveness. The pain will be shared by both.
In the novel, they indeed slept together in the hot spring. The drama changed that scene perhaps out of fear that it would make the audience more angry at CXZ for taking advantage of LMT. Because for some viewers, only perfect male leads can grace their screens. In CXZ's defense, the wine was largely responsible because it contained medicine that boosted his libido and lowered his inhibition. At this point, the drama is widely diverging from the novel. I'm interested in where they take this.
It seems like the novel is introducing Lu Wen (LMT's true identity) much earlier than the novel. I love this change because I wanted to see more of Lu Wen and CXZ in the book. Although they fought twice and maintained their distance for a while, I wanted to see a more contentious relationship between them.
I'm curious how the drama will handle the fall-out between them. In the book, although LMT was devastated, CXZ didn't grovel and beg for forgiveness. In response, LMT left him without saying goodbye. I hope the drama keeps it that way.
I hope they will not make her stay and pretend after finding out the truth just to exact revenge. I’d rather…

One thing I've learned from watching dramas based on novels is that, due to censorship rather than creative differences, the novels are always better. Let’s see how they do here.
In episode 11, CXZ confesses to LMT that he had come to respect Lu Wen as a formidable foe, lamenting the anticlimactic…
In reality, she didn't see herself as a bandit. She saw herself as a Robin Hood type character who was stealing from the rich to help the poor. She and the 1ml were on the opposite sides.
