Yuan Li TV drama "The King of Shanghai" episode introduction, Episode 1:

In 1915, country girl Xiaoyuegui came to Shanghai with her uncle and aunt's family to escape the famine in her hometown. Chang Li-xiong, the president of the Shanghai Pujiang Chamber of Commerce, decided to rescue and accommodate the fugitive Huang Peiyu who was wanted for assassinating Yuan Shikai. This decision led to dissatisfaction among some members of the Chamber, including Elder Three. The boss of Yipinlou, Xin Daiyu, followed Chang Li-xiong's instructions and secretly waited for Huang Peiyu's appearance at the shikumen market with Yu Qi-yang and He Li. In the human trafficking market, Xiaoyuegui, accompanied by her aunt, was preparing to sell herself to help her family get through the difficulties. The appearance of Huang Peiyu caused a clash between several forces chasing him. In the chaos, Xiaoyuegui saw a patrolman shooting at Yu Qi-yang, so she decisively tackled the patrolman, saving Yu Qi-yang. Deeply grateful, Yu Qi-yang took Xiaoyuegui back to Yipinlou. After his plea, the boss of Yipinlou, Xin Daiyu, agreed to buy Xiaoyuegui, making her a servant at Yipinlou. The young patriot Huang Peiyu was held hostage by a few destitute soldiers from the Zhen Guo Army, causing Chang Li-xiong's plan to rescue Huang Peiyu to fail. Inside Yipinlou, Chang Li-xiong was angrily scolding Yu Qi-yang and others for failing to rescue Huang Peiyu. Upon learning that Yu Qi-yang was saved with the help of a country girl, Chang Li-xiong insisted on seeing this brave country girl in person. Xiaoyuegui, freshly washed and dressed, revealed her youthful beauty and, under the guidance of Yipinlou manager Li Yu, came before Chang Li-xiong and others. Chang Li-xiong praised Xiaoyuegui for her bravery and good looks, while Yu Qi-yang beside him showed a proud smile.
