About Modern Emperor
During a strange time-travel event, Emperor George of the Daming Kingdom unexpectedly found himself in the modern world. Everywhere he looked, there were sights and wonders he'd never seen before. In this unfamiliar world, he accidentally witnessed a modern woman bathing, which both shocked and intrigued him. While George was still trying to make sense of this new world, the son of the Wang family appeared and demanded that the woman marry him. Faced with this unreasonable demand, George decided to step in. He took out a priceless jade pendant, a symbol of the royal family in Daming, but in the modern world, his action raised doubts from those around him. To prove the authenticity of the pendant, George sought out a master appraiser. After careful inspection, the appraiser confirmed that it was indeed real, surprising everyone present, including the Wang family’s son. Then, the woman presented a painting she claimed was by Tang Bohu, hoping the appraiser could verify its authenticity. After a detailed examination, the appraiser confirmed it was genuine. However, George disagreed, arguing it was a fake. As the debate heated up, George decided to prove his point. Using his deep knowledge of ancient artworks and his unique understanding of Tang Bohu’s style, he pointed out numerous flaws in the painting. His strong reasoning ultimately proved it was a forgery. The appraiser was impressed by George’s expertise and logic. He publicly admitted his mistake and, out of respect and curiosity, invited George to his home to discuss more artworks and have him appraise additional items. George accepted the invitation, seeing it as an opportunity to showcase his skills and further explore this wondrous modern world.
