Persona

Jin is a proud and advanced student of medicine at the famous Imperial Academy of Chang'an, and has already started practising. Since he lives in the Palace District and well knows how to make use of his charms, he has good and intimate connections to several palace officials and courtiers, even higher-ranking ones, and people agree that his future is a very promising one.

All this was true until that ill-fated day he agreed to sell a certain strengthening medicine to an apparently not too bright customer. As a result, Jin now feels a strong urge to visit distant relatives in Samarkand, and stay with them for an extended period of time. His current mood can be described as 'testy'.
