The translation is a choice. Actively being raped and calling someone brat and rascal (ch17)... bastard or asshole seems an easier and more appropriate translation given the context. The frequency at which it gets used would mean probably being creative with which words to choose when but something more than what you'd use to refer to a child given the actions are not childish.
Others have touched on it but the rape is all kinds of ick. I think more so than normal as also combined element of forcing a gender change via the pheromone manipulation. Which also logically if you are changing his physical chemistry wouldn't you change his pheromones thereby losing them despite loving them? But who needs logic when you can have PLOT! Similar that Wen/Jing is super competent and capable except when it isn't convenient for the plot like the negotiations and leaving giant openings for easy exploitation.
I think I could get past it if there was feeling of love or something positive but all that has been conveyed is possessiveness/desire to own which doesn't care about the object of the obsession.
