I'm a down-and-out foreign merchant in Chang'an's Western Market, and everyone treats me like an ant. Little do they know I carry three hundred years of future Tang poetry, while Empress Wu's ruthless officials think they can trample me forever. Until the day I make Li Longji pour my wine himself! Rice is expensive in Chang'an, and making a living there is no easy feat, but I'm determined to rise straight to the top.
