No, Wen Tingyun is Yu Xuanji’s teacher. Yu Xuanji liked him and expressed her feelings to him, but Wen Tingyun declined her and introduced her to the young talent Li Yi.
Yu Xuanji was born in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, in 844. When she was ten years old, she was spotted by Wen Tingyun, a great poet at the time, for her talent. After that, Yu Xuanji paid homage to Wen Tingyun. As a master. Wen Tingyun admired Yu Xuanji's intelligence and talent very much, and gave him many pointers, becoming both his father and his teacher.
As for Yu Xuanji, who lost his father when he was young, he developed girlish feelings for this talented, warm and passionate man, and he couldn't help himself. However, Wen Tingyun felt that he was ugly, and there was a thirty-year age difference between him and Yu Xuanji. He could not bear to humiliate Yu Xuanji, and was only willing to treat Yu Xuanji as master and disciple.
During the period of separation, the two people also maintained the relationship of master and friend. Later, when Yu Xuanji was fourteen years old, while taking part in the imperial examination, he felt sad because women could not take the exam to serve as officials, so he wrote a poem in Chongzhen Temple. This scene happened to be remembered by the people of that year. Li Yi, the top scholar in the imperial examination, saw it.
So two talented and beautiful people, with Wen Tingyun acting as matchmaker, naturally walked together. However, at this time, Li Yi already had a wife at home. So no matter how much he liked Yu Xuanji, he could only force her to be his concubine.
What is regrettable is that soon after Yu Xuanji became Li Yi's concubine, their loving life only lasted a few months before he was forced by his first wife to write a divorce letter. The book drove Yu Xuanji out of the house. But Li Yi did not forget his old love, and placed Yu Xuanji in a Taoist temple. But despite this, it was still very difficult to meet each other. The good times did not last long, and the fate of the two people came to an end.
Afterwards, the frustrated Yu Xuanji became promiscuous in his private life. In the end, due to jealousy, he lost his mind and whipped his lover's personal maid to death and was sentenced to death. That year, Yu Xuanji was still a 26-year-old young woman.
Thousands of miles away, Wen Tingyun was heartbroken to hear that his student had ended up like this. And he himself was living a very miserable life. Everywhere he goes, Wen Tingyun likes to hang out with singing girls and misbehave. Everyone knows that he writes good lyrics, but he does not cherish his reputation. He always mocks officials and offends some people.

Regarding Yu Xuanji’s crime, Professor Zhang Chengjian of Wenzhou University believes that the story about Yu Xuanji’s “jealous murder” of Lu Qiao in “Sanshui Xiaoshu” has traces of fabrication.
There are two reasons: first, Lu Qiao is dead, and the source of what she said to Yu Xuanji before her death is unreliable; second, as Yu Xuanji’s girl, Lu Qiao is no more than a teenager, and The words she spoke were righteous and stern, not at all like the tone of an innocent and childish girl. These words were not necessarily made up by Huangfu Mei, but they probably came from the statements made by the swordsman and penman of Jingzhao Prefecture about Yu Xuanji's crime. Lu Qiao's accusation that Yu Xuanji was "obscene" was simply the stern judgment of Yu Xuanji by the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Zhang Chengjian believes that the Luqiao incident must have a complicated background, with hidden grievances and details; the so-called "jealousy murder" case of Yu Xuanji is an eternal mystery and an eternal injustice.
