Xu Deng's experience of changing from a woman to a man, according to personal speculation, is more likely to be Xu Deng's female dress as a man, which is a means of self-preservation in a chaotic world. Xu Deng and Zhao Xun's creekside fighting technique is more like the two people trying each other at first sight, and essentially more like a blind date. After Zhao Xun was in Zhangdong, the act of burning the fire in the upper room to cook was a means of publicity and marketing.
