tbf I think the switch up in yan zheng’s behaviour in ep 17 was very real?? like him suddenly kissing her was…
I think it's because he's at one moment cold and the other hot... he kisses her but then he keeps his distance and doesn't want to lay in the same bed as her. Then he tells her he's staying for now, but later on reminds her he's leaving. From her perspective, he was just toying with her feelings.
He cut his back with the sword he made for Changyu to "consecrate it"
chapter 99: He was fine with everything else she said, but when she mistakenly thought he had been injured by Yuan Qing, Xie Zheng finally spoke up, “I did it to myself.”
Seeing Fan Changyu look at him as if he were crazy, Xie Zheng wasn’t sure what he was thinking at that moment. He just locked his pitch-black eyes on her and said, “I drew blood to consecrate your sword.”

Fan Changyu indeed cursed him, “You madman!”
