Director and Writers wanted us to see Lu's dysfunctional family, that was far worse than the Rong dysfunctional family.

The director and writera wanted to show how crappy Lord Lu's family was, that he would give it up to become a matrilocal husband.

She was already moulded by Granny, who didn't appreciate her sometimes. Granny also didn't appreciate Yun Shu, who was as ruthless as her.

I didn't know Shan Bao's father was around until he showed up in the capital arc. I recall someone mentioning Granny's son early days of the drama, and was curious what his role would be. Then I forgot about him until last night.

I was waiting for that scene after she told her maid to fetch water.

The writers got carried away with the cray cray Xue family members. Now we understand why Lu Jiang Lai had been avoiding them for years... but he didn't know about his half-crazy brother, his wife, Princess and Madame Chang. LOL the only normal people in the family as the three children.

I was waiting for Lang to choose one of the sisters or cousin. I hope he stays far way from them, tbh. Cousin started getting chatty again in the Capital. She didn't figure out that people stop listening when she keeps talking.

I forgot. Thanks!

Hahahaha!

And leave Granny at home. LOL

Shan Bao already dressed for two weddings. The third time might be bad luck. 😁😁

Writers should have killed off Granny. Her tyranny will continue, and the sisters and cousin won't move out. Shan Bao should transfer them to tea plantations in Asian countries.

She was Granny, Version 2.

Everyone got away with his or her malfeasance, except for the ones who died conveniently.

I think Director is delirious about making a season 2. She (... edited) inhaled that incense in Shuyu's brazier. I watched K-dramas for sixteen years, and the one season only with conclusion with the time jump or bad ending, was sufficient drama.

She essentially dumped him at the Duke's mansion, but was hoping on the dock that he would show up. She seemed to be testing his loyalty. I anticipate that Granny Rong will belittle and humiliate Liang Lai before he marries Shan Bao. Granny Rong and Duke Xue were cut from the same cloth.

They had some nice fashions in the Capital. The ladies kept warm with the silk robes with fur trim. I wonder if they filmed in the winter these scenes in the winter months. LOL I loved Jiang Lai's blue robe.

The Xue clan was dysfunctional. I still don't know who really killed Brother Shuyu. Madame Chang, Princess, Xie Hui Qing, or even Xue Butler? They should have pinned the crime on the butler, and let all the women go free. LOL I am guessing tha Old Duke will die soon, and Lu Jiang Li will renounce the Duke title in favor of his little nephew, Xun. So are the three children, Xie Hui Qing's biological children?

The writers flip flopped the sex of the lead characters. In a parallel drama universe, Shan Bao could easily be male, and Jiang Lai could be female. Old Granny could be the patriarch. The Rong sisters could be competing male brothers. In effect, Glory is projecting female empowerment.

Yes! Hou Ming Hao's star has been rising, and the production companies are headhunting. I am here for Hou, but Lu Jiang Lai's flip flopping makes me 🙄. When you gauge the two characters against other C-drama characters, Shan Bao was written as the male lead, and Jiang Li was written as the female lead. This might have been intentional.
