I think that is the case! I think she distances herself from him, then he tells her he doesn't care and he wants…
yeah, ive realized that he is a lot more softer(if that makes sense), like in the book he was quite dominant. also ep 28 is quite different from the books. she actually left to join a different army and she was with her adoptive father when she left, and tie Zheng stops them mid way and there was quite an intimate scene. but I do like how the show is going, even though they are cutting out some scenes from the book I rlly wanted to see on the screen. the show is going quite fast paced and it makes sense now why there is 40 episodes cause they have rlly cut down a lot of content from the novel.
I js saw the 32 ep preview, and it looks like they rlly have changed it, like I feel like we might not be getting the same plot for the second break up as the book(I am not too sure so correct me if im wrong), but if it is the case, then im lowkey disappointed cause I rlly wanted to see that part of the book come on screen
