lately im kinda pis*** at the writing, maybe its the TL's fault, but since the beginning it seemed like zhou had no feelings for people, but still wants to protect them when they are with him, but now his ulterior move seems to be to distance himself from the people he loves, so he doesent get taken advantage of from the regent, but whenever he has a inner monologue he is the same a** he was since chapter 1, kinda conflicting.
