The Tea Sage

Lu Yu, courtesy name Hongjian, was named after the phrase, "The wild goose alights on land, and its feathers may serve as a model." He loved tea all his life and was hailed as the Sage of Tea, revered as the Immortal of Tea, and worshipped as the God of Tea. I envy neither the golden wine vessel, nor the white jade cup; neither entering the imperial court at dawn, nor taking office there at dusk; what I envy a thousand times over is the waters of the West River, which once flowed beneath the walls of Jingling. This is Lu Yu, the Sage of Tea. Well, after Xiao Sanzi read "The Sage of Tea" from the Ye Buyu series, she became completely smitten with the graceful and elegant Lord Lu Yu. And so this little story of Xiao San's came to be. Writing it was a struggle, and it nearly died before it was born = = Still, tea doesn't have much to do with the story. At most, it serves as the catalyst for the two characters' meeting. (This story is entirely fictional. If anything seems familiar, brace yourself for the shock...) Theme:
