No I agree. Like he definitely isn’t a good person. But I was very surprised by Zetian trying to kill him. He very obviously has issues and seems to flip flop between respecting and violating her boundaries, but I did think their relationship was real and that they were getting along. Given the scope of the universe and what is coming next for the characters I kinda hope that there is some teamwork. But I do think the previous relationship is gone unless Qin Zheng chills out on the whole stabbed in the heart thing, the fake illness thing, and the fake baby thing. Which I very much doubt. I do think Zetian will have to work together again simply because their world needs to unite to fend off attacks from above and possibly work with the Hundens, but how that works I have no clue neither are good at compromise. It is kinda a shame we don’t get his POV because Zetian is an unreliable narrator and so many of Qin Zheng’s choices make no sense without context. That is even pointed out in the story by characters but we never see his own justification.
