During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor claimed to be the Great Luo Jinxian and indulged in practicing Taoism and refining elixirs. Major bugs in the system have caused many unlearned scholars to flock to the school, willing to spend their whole lives just to win the first place and become an official. Even if he has no chance of officialdom, he still tries his best to be arty and polite, but in fact he is a scum.
I hope that in the laughter and scolding, I can laugh at those sanctimonious fake celebrities and real hooligans in "The Scholars" and make you smile.
