Wang Afu, a quick-witted, roguishly handsome servant in the Marquis’s household, has a mischievous streak. Thanks to his knack for scrubbing toilets and his clever idea of selling mystery boxes, he carves out a place for himself in the estate. He can write doggerel that wins over the literati, use crafty tricks to help with military logistics, talk back to the willful young lady, and make the fiery proprietress laugh. With his silver tongue and nimble hands, he rises from toilet cleaner to the remarkable “Steward Fu,” turning life in ancient times into a lively comedy.
