Glory Episode 2

The Bachelorette—Ancient Chinese Version

The ML finds himself thrust in the middle of a large campaign of savage, scheming, and silly suitors vying for Miss Rong Shanbao’s hand in marriage, like an ancient Chinese version of “The Bachelorette” (an American dating competition reality TV show). He originally went to the Rong estate to force old grand Madam Rong into testifying regarding a wife-murder cold case that he’s reopened. Officials, who don’t want this case reopened, plot to silence the ML, Lord Lu, and he falls into amnesia after being run off the road over a cliff. Miss Rong, finding him hurt and unconscious, brings him into her home since she recognizes him immediately. She readily discerns the very sensitive nature of her discovery of Lord Lu in this state. She doesn’t quite know what to make of him though. Was this an accident? Who tried to kill him? Can she trust him? Is he acting? Is he a friend or a foe?

Playing your hand — memory loss, manipulation, and dangerous smiles

Episode 2 really feels like a game of strategy — playing your hand at exactly the right moment. Our ML falls straight into a deadly trap and loses his memory, landing him firmly in the FL’s hands. She clearly knows more about him than she lets on, but instead of turning him in, she rescues him and quietly installs him as a stable boy. Bold choice.Meanwhile, the FL’s sisters continue plotting like it’s their full-time job — honestly, her siblings are lethal and no one feels safe around them. Just when you think that’s enough scheming, the potential suitors enter the picture, and their plotting is almost as bad as the sisters’. Everyone here has an agenda.This episode makes one thing very clear: showing weakness in this world is dangerous, and it could easily be your downfall. Tension stays high, alliances feel fragile, and I’m very curious to see who plays their cards right next.🔍 Current Theory:I think the ML has genuinely lost his memory, but his cleverness and instincts are still very much intact. Even without his past, he knows how to survive, read people, and adapt — which makes him even more dangerous.
