He is the most insignificant ruffian in Chang'an. Yet he is the only person who can open that box. The orphan of the Directorate of Astronomy comes knocking. Tibetan spies set their sights on him, while an organization called "Wind Whispers" watches from the shadows. Everyone thinks he is just a streetwise idler with a few cheap tricks. No one knows that for three generations, the Lin family has guarded the same box with their lives. He forges a bronze wine vessel and fools Tibetan spies. He exposes falsified grain accounts and brings down a court full of parasites. At the Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai, he forces the Empress to return power to the Li family. Lin He, known as "Monkey Lin" in the Western Market. He knows nothing of military strategy and has never been to war.
