I think episode 14 is still my favorite episode of him so far. I mean, he's great in every single one of his scenes and nails every single one of them, but the scene of him walking toward XY's room after finding out her real identity, while remembering every single cruel thing he's inflicted on her while she saved his life multiple times, even going as far as using her body as a shield in order to protect him...
Every breath, every step... dripped off regret... even the atmosphere around him was drunken deep in sorrow and regret... the look in his eyes as he used his spiritual energy to heal her... and when he finally worked up the courage to look her in the eyes to ask if she was hurting...
This scene touched me.
One year later in 2024, I'm watching the series and I feel EXACTLY like you about EP 14 after Cang Xuan figured out things and remembered every single god-awful thing he had ordered against Wen Xiao Liu. His eyes rimmed with red, tears threatening to flow as he healed Xiao Yao and she, trying to control her own emotions as her own tears began...and he tenderly asked if it hurt....oh my gosh, I was on Team Cang Xuan from then on, not caring if it's a sinking ship. "Every breath, every step...dripped off regret"... absolutely! So well said!!!
