The Legend of Bureaucrat Matsurika - S01

Matsurika is a lady-in-waiting in the imperial palace with a special talent: an excellent memory. One day, she is asked to stand in as a practice partner for a nobleman's arranged meeting, only to find that her partner is Emperor Hakuyou himself, who wanted to try a matchmaking meeting. Impressed by her skill, the emperor unexpectedly tells her to "go pass the imperial examination first." So begins the tale of a girl singled out by the emperor in this Chinese-style Cinderella story.
