Shen Yuan traveled to the Li Mansion, the richest man in Qingxi County during the Daqian Dynasty, and became the steward of the Li Mansion.
The young master Li Xian only engaged in pure love and had no intention of studying, so Mr. Li used the whole family's efforts to support the housekeeper's imperial examination and pursue an official career.
Master Li's only request; "Shen Yuan, you must promise me to protect Li Xian to the death!"
Shen Yuan clasped his toes on the ground: "Huh... I, Shen Yuan, swear to protect Li Xian to the death!"
...
Young Master Li Xian: "Butler? Let's go to Meixiangzhai to drink wine." Shen Yuan: "Yes, Young Master!"
Young Master Li Xian: "Butler? Let's visit it at the temple fair." Shen Yuan: "Yes, Young Master!"
Young Master Li Xian: "Butler? Let's beat Kong Xiucai." Shen Yuan: "Yes, Young Master!"
Young Master Li Xian: "Butler? How about we pour Zhang Juren's fragrant soup on him?" Shen Yuan: "Yes, Young Master!"

The chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies said: "Bold commoner, this is our Shen Shoufu!"
Li Xian's youngest son: "The housekeeper is the chief assistant, so is dad the emperor?"
Emperor: "Huh? Where are the nine Li clans in Qingxi County?!"
Shen Shoufu: "Your Majesty... I swear to protect Li Xian to the death."
Emperor: "... That's so long-winded, I'll reward you from the nine Li clans!"
