Blurb:

[An heir to the Tea Mountain Sect, determined to spread tea culture but easily lured away by good food × A history professor who's only aloof on the surface]

On the surface, Ye Lin is a university tea ceremony instructor. In reality, she's the impoverished heir to the Tea Mountain Sect.

She's so broke she couldn't find a coin in her pockets.

Even in such dire straits, she still wants to spread tea culture... Just kidding. In this situation, making money is more important.

Then one day, her grandmother suddenly passed away. Her relatives bickered relentlessly over the inheritance, making an already fractured family situation even worse.

The only inheritance left to her was a teahouse stripped bare.

Oh, no, that's not all.

There was also a tea set and a past-and-present communication System.

Suddenly, she felt that maybe...

There was still some hope?

1.

With the help of the past-and-present communication System, Ye Lin successfully achieved face-to-face communication across time with Lu Yu, the Tang dynasty's Sage of Tea.

The System told her that as long as she increased people's understanding of tea culture and gained more heritage points, she could unlock more ancient tea masters and their tea ceremony books.

As it happened, renowned historian Fang Shixu was hosting a livestream course called "Records of Tea Culture Exchanges."

How could Ye Lin pass up such a great opportunity to gain both fame and fortune while making her dream come true?

What a fantastic project! She, Ye Duoyu... was signing up!

2.

But after the show went live, the first several livestreams had dismal viewership, nearly becoming the greatest humiliation of Fang Shixu's life.

How could that be allowed?

It didn't matter if Fang Shixu's reputation was ruined. Ye Lin's mission of passing on tea culture was far more important.

Sleep could wait. She'd take over the livestream!

When the tea masters of every dynasty make their move, you'll know right away if they're the real deal!

The Han dynasty's scenes of sipping fragrant tea, with its traditions passed down and wisdom gathered from every source; the dazzling splendor of the Tang dynasty, where the tea tradition flourished and shone anew; the Song dynasty's tea competitions and whisked tea, inheriting the past and opening new paths, ever flourishing; the Yuan dynasty's tea culture spreading far and wide, reshaping and reinventing itself through continual exploration; and the Ming and Qing tea schools, with their long histories, embracing all traditions and offering endless variety...

Before long, it had accidentally become a nationwide sensation.

The endless interviews and reports kept Ye Lin terribly busy. Well, what could she do? The greater her ability, the greater her responsibility.

Fang Shixu: Humblebragging.

Ye Lin: When a scholar humblebrags, it doesn't count as humblebragging, does it?

3.

Aside from her busy work life, Ye Lin had other mysteries she couldn't figure out.

For instance, why had Professor Fang, who was always so stern, started blushing every time he saw her?

May you find a moment of inner peace in tea amid your busy days.

*Reader's guide

1. The author has only studied tea ceremony for half a year and is far from an expert. Most of my knowledge comes from the internet, so please feel free to point out any mistakes.

2. The story involves petty workplace rivalries among elementary school students, which may seem a little childish.

3. If you don't like it, you can criticize me. There's no need to click away.
