See and that's why I don't like how they changed his personality in the adaption.
His true self is when he's with other people. He was never that sweet or nice to anyone. That's why you don't like his behavior right now. Because he was too different at the beginning.
He's very complex character. I wouldn't say he doesn't care that she's crying but the situation she created is not light. He wants to lecture her.
And I believe from EP 30+ we will get back to the revenge plotline. We just need Changyu to find out his true identity.
ohhh can you post about the novel scene as a spoiler? I was actually a little bit low key getting 2nd hand embarassment…
In the novel she went hunting with Xie Zheng soldiers and killed a bear which is insane haha. But they needed meat.
And, she went to steal grain and salt from the rebels. She sneaked into their tent.
Of course Xie Zheng lectures her in the novel about how reckless she was, that she could get killed together with the soldiers, but there's no punishment by lashes, and she learns that what she did was wrong.

I get why you're angry at him but I understand why he decided to do that. He didn't want to punish Changyu herself since she acted without an order. So he took the blame. The soldiers would otherwise do whatever they wanted if a girl like her, without a title could kidnap someone important to the war.
I get why are you all annoyed by what Changyu did in ep 25 😅 but you honestly think Xie Zheng would just stand up there if he thought her plan wouldn't work? to me, it looked like he believed the plan would work even if it was reckless and sudden.
I do agree that the screenwriter should've stick to what happened in the novel... but I understand why they had to change it. It would be impossible to film that hunting scene.
One thing that bothers me is that they made Xie Zheng look like a nice, soft guy at the beginning of the drama. Yes, they did show us a few scenes where he's cold, but for those who didn't read the novel, it feels like it's not even him. He almost acts like a Xie Wei in Story of Kunning Palace and many people dislike his character there.He's described as grumpy, and bad-tempered. And he always has a sharp tongue.He didn't act any different with Changyu. He's also very selfish and toxic.I already saw couple of comments about how he acted in ep 25, that you found him scary, but I wasn't surprised at all because that's his real personality...I understand why they had to softened his character but it can be a bit 🤏🏻 misleading. That's just my opinion!
what i’m confused about xy’s second in command (can’t remember his name) was literally there with a bunch…
These people only complain because she's a woman. What she did was dangerous and reckless but it worked, and if Xie Zheng thought that was a bad move he'd have done something.

I had zero problem with him in the novel. I like complex characters such as Xie Zheng 🤷🏻♀️ I like when they have flaws and are not perfect.
