they had this conversation after she found out his identity, which was after his conversation with general he (same as in the drama), which should have made some things PRETTY DAMN OBVIOUS to him βΊοΈ
you're saying he hesitated to tell her who he is because he was worried about her real identity, but also that he didn't start suspecting anything bad about her real identity until after she had already found out who he is.
when I read the novel I didn't find the writing reasonable, the way this last trope was used made my eyes roll so much they almost left my head π« and imo the fact that everyone turns themselves into a differently shaped pretzel trying to justify what happens is a clear indicator that the writing has issues - if the writing is consistent and reasonable, there won't be anything for people to argue about π
of course everyone has their own feelings and interpretations though and I don't mean to invalidate them. peace π€

but if that were the reason, why would he push her to be with him before confirming the truth, as he does in the novel? after she finds out his identity he's all like "love me, marry me, love me, I'm the kind of guy who never changes his mind, I'll never let you be wronged"
Some people criticize Qian Qian for βsubmitting,β but this woman managed to hide herself and her son for six…
Qianqian is insanely strong and anyone who says otherwise would get pigslapped to death by Changyu π
Having the mental fortitude to physically submit to and play along with a psychopath while retaining your sanity and not submitting mentally, biding your time, is insanely hard and most people wouldn't be able to do it.

In the novel the only justification he ever gives her is that he didn't tell her in order to protect her (which of course never works). In his internal monologue he also mentions being afraid she will reject him after finding out his identity, which is a valid fear but doesn't consider the danger, worry and guilt not knowing brings her

yes, that's exactly what I meant by "plot devices for the sake of tension" π€ the plot has to be a little illogical or it wouldn't be as fun lmao. without dramatic cliff falls with a 100% survival rate and people becoming unrecognizable when they put on a mask, what's even the point

That's a very broad question, so there are many ways this could go depending on the vibe you want.
If you really want him not to tell her who he is, he can still secretly leave some guards with her. He can offer to move her to a safe place where not everyone and their dog knows about his relationship with her (he can frame it as repaying her - throw in a huge pigsty and she'll totally accept it without questions). When they argue he doesn't need to tell her the whole truth to begin with, he can just make some vague hints about her and her family being in danger because of him. She can not understand, be mad, storm off in anger, same angst, but at least he tried. When he saves her and she runs off he doesn't need to deliberately hide his identity from her with a silly mask and changing his voice. Lots of room to show internal conflict, but after calming down from the argument, he absolutely knows that she likes him, but was hurt by him acting like an asshole. On a more direct route he could also straight up tell her she's in danger because of him and offer to take her to the military camp, where she would absolutely be safer - if he thinks she can't handle that, he has forgotten everything he knew about her.
Just to be clear here, I like the drama. I just feel the writing of this part could've been better π

I think they did a great job with the drama adaptation so far, imo they made a lot of positive changes so I have high hopes for the rest of the drama π€
he believes that without him she won't became a Wei Yan target
As he should be well aware, she was already a Wei Yan target even without him π And at this point a million people know that he married her and cares about her, it's too late, Wei Yan will know no matter what. At best, this is good old noble idiocy
I just do not understand why he didn't simply tell her that he loves her, instead of having a silly argument near…
Abandonment issues and insecurity, being emotionally immature, lashing out and pushing someone away before they have a chance to leave you to avoid being abandoned. It felt quite realistic unfortunately. I just hope it won't be romanticized in the future and that we'll get to see some character development.

and the flimsy arguments given in the novel aren't even applicable to the drama because they changed the characters and their relationship
