### Premise and characters
The story follows Qiao Jingjing, a popular actress who was rejected by her high school classmate Yu Tu twice as a student. Ten years later she is a top celebrity who risks losing a lucrative video game endorsement when her poor skills at the game [Honor of Kings](https://www.edgepedia.org/honor-of-kings) are exposed. She encounters Yu Tu again, now an aerospace engineer questioning his career, and he becomes her gaming coach; the two slowly fall in love.[5](https://flixpatrol.com/title/you-are-my-glory/) The drama frames the reunion as a story about honoring the dream of spaceflight and holding to original aspirations.[1](https://www.ithome.com/0/563/985.htm)
Supporting cast members include Pan Yueming, Hu Ke, Wang Yanlin, and Zheng Hehuizi, with Jin Chen and Wu Qin in special appearances.[1](https://www.ithome.com/0/563/985.htm) • [6](https://www.zaobao.com.sg/entertainment/story20210731-1175982) The director is [Wang Zhi](https://www.edgepedia.org/wang-zhi), and the production companies include Tencent Penguin Pictures and Tencent Pictures.[7](https://www.cpophome.com/you-are-my-glory-yang-yang-dilraba/)
## Production
Gu Man, whose earlier adaptations such as *My Sunshine*, *Love O2O*, and *Boss & Me* were commercial hits, wrote the screenplay herself, which commentary credited with avoiding the heavy rewriting common in other intellectual-property adaptations and keeping novel fans satisfied.[2](https://wenhui.whb.cn/third/jinri/202108/25/420999.html) Compared with the novel, the series added extensive detail about Yu Tu's aerospace engineering work, including a two-episode sequence about rescuing a failed satellite.[8](https://dzb.whb.cn/imgPath/2021-08-17/70817.pdf)
**Professional consultation.** To satisfy demanding gamers, the producers brought in the game's development team, professional e-sports players, and commentators as consultants. For the aerospace content, the production invited aerospace experts to review and revise the script for professional accuracy.[2](https://wenhui.whb.cn/third/jinri/202108/25/420999.html) The Harbin Institute of Technology micro-satellite team, which built and launched the Lilac satellites, praised the series as "highly faithful to the real state of aerospace workers and the problems they face in life and work," and the popular-science account Planet Studios wrote that the workplace plots were not "suspended" and the spaceflight details were heartfelt.[2](https://wenhui.whb.cn/third/jinri/202108/25/420999.html) [China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation](https://www.edgepedia.org/china-aerospace-science-and-industry-corporation) and the news center of the [China National Space Administration](https://www.edgepedia.org/china-national-space-administration) interacted with the show on Weibo to promote Chinese spaceflight.[2](https://wenhui.whb.cn/third/jinri/202108/25/420999.html)
## Reception and viewership
The premiere set records: Tencent Video reported the fastest project to pass 100 million views in two years, the site's drama debut traffic peak, and over 100 million danmu (bullet comments) within three hours.[4](https://www.tmtpost.com/5566086.html) • [9](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_13821512) By July 30, the main Weibo topic had reached 2.13 billion reads and 26.368 million discussions, and the show held the top position on GuDuo's all-network heat index with an average of about 78.83 and a peak of 86.72.[9](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_13821512) It led Maoyan's daily web-drama heat chart for 15 consecutive days, and its cumulative views passed 1.8 billion by August 10 and exceeded 3.3 billion by late August, making it Tencent Video's most-watched drama of the year to that point measured by per-episode plays.[10](https://www.bbtnews.com.cn/2021/0810/406507.shtml) • [2](https://wenhui.whb.cn/third/jinri/202108/25/420999.html) When the finale's paid early access opened on August 16, plays grew by nearly 30 million within an hour.[11](https://ylzbl.com/article-3651.htm)
**Polarized reviews.** Reception split sharply. On Douban, before official scoring opened, short reviews exceeded 50,000 with high- and low-star ratings almost even; criticism targeted the proportion of gameplay footage, which some viewers said dominated the early episodes, and the satellite-rescue subplot, which some found disconnected from the romance.[10](https://www.bbtnews.com.cn/2021/0810/406507.shtml) • [2](https://wenhui.whb.cn/third/jinri/202108/25/420999.html) A Wenhui review argued the series interleaved three threads, gaming, spaceflight, and romance, so viewers could lose interest whenever the story left their preferred thread.[2](https://wenhui.whb.cn/third/jinri/202108/25/420999.html) Audiences outside the core circles of novel fans, star fans, gamers, and aerospace workers responded more mildly, with some stopping after two or three episodes.[2](https://wenhui.whb.cn/third/jinri/202108/25/420999.html)
On international platforms the show scored highly: 9.5 out of 10 on Rakuten Viki, 9.2 on WeTV, and 8.8 on MyDramaList, and a Thammasat University thesis reports it was Tencent's most-viewed series with more than 3.6 billion views in mainland China.[12](https://ethesisarchive.library.tu.ac.th/thesis/2022/TU_2022_6203040107_17170_24234.pdf) Dilraba Dilmurat later won recognition at the Beijing Daily-affiliated "Film and TV Role Model 2021" annual awards for her online popularity in the role.[13](https://hhzb.huainannet.com/attachment/202201/19/0404dbb1-dbb6-4f49-8665-cdc640c35a00.pdf)
## Distribution
The series streamed exclusively on Tencent Video in China, with WeTV, Tencent's international platform, carrying it abroad; it did not reach Rakuten Viki until months after its WeTV release, an example of platforms holding original productions exclusively at first release.[14](https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/jtc-2022-0014/pdf?licenseType=open-access) It is currently available on Prime Video, WeTV, and Rakuten Viki in various regions.[3](https://www.moviefone.com/tv-shows/you-are-my-glory/km2haB7ue8XE1dgCaquJR3/where-to-watch/)
## Significance in the genre
The series is cited as an example of "sweet pet" romance dramas that integrate professional settings, the male and female leads meet and grow in workplace scenes, giving the genre real-world grounding that supports cross-cultural appeal, alongside titles such as *You Are My Hero*.[15](https://dzb.whb.cn/imgPath/2021-12-24/91224.pdf) Its combination of a Gu Man property, the first licensed Honor of Kings drama, and an aerospace theme made it one of 2021's most-discussed Chinese streaming releases.[1](https://www.ithome.com/0/563/985.htm)
