About The Lost Emperor
With the Imperial Examination approaching, the young emperor went to a temple to pray. On his way back, he was caught in a torrential downpour and a flash flood, falling off a cliff and losing his memory. He mistakenly assumed he was a poor student and took the examination. However, upon arriving at the examination hall, he discovered that the examination, a matter of national importance, was not as fair as he had imagined. Corruption, bribery, oppression, and bullying challenged his understanding and his tolerance. In extreme anger and resentment, he regained his memory and vowed to eradicate the chaos in the examination system.
