"The King of Shanghai" tells the story of the ten-mile ocean field in Shanghai at the beginning of the 20th century, and the competition and disputes of gangster forces. In the chaotic world, the legendary love and hatred between the strange woman Xiao Yuegui (played by Yu Nan) and the three generations of Shanghai kings.

Xiao Yuegui (played by Li Meng), a country girl who works as a girl in a brothel, is "tall, big-breasted, and unwrapped", which makes the boss Xin Daiyu (played by Bai Ling) very dissatisfied, but she is deeply favored by Chang Lixiong (played by Hu Jun), the boss of Hongmen, and has become a woman who is the king of Shanghai. Chang Lixiong was assassinated during contact with Huang Peiyu (Qin Hao), a representative of the Alliance, and Xiao Yuegui was left alone and left in the countryside after giving birth to a daughter.

After several years of hardship, Xiao Yuegui established the beach spring team, returned to Shanghai, and with the help of the second generation of Shanghai king Huang Peiyu, became the "Shenqu Famous Singer" Xiao Yuegui (played by Yu Nan). She found out that Huang Peiyu was related to Chang Lixiong's death, so she designed with Yu Qiyang (Feng Xiaoyue), who had been a follower of the king of Shanghai for two generations, to kill Huang Peiyu and help Yu Qiyang become the first banker in Hongmen Mountain.

In the past, Shanghai was divided into Shanghai Pu and Xiahai Pu. In the past, Shanghai Tang was also full of various forces, there was a woman named Xiao Yuegui, who was sold to Shanghai at the beginning, but I didn't expect to be in a brothel, by chance, I met Shanghai Wang Chang Lixiong, Chang Lixiong was the boss of Hongmen at that time, this person really likes Xiao Yuegui, he and Xiao Yuegui still have a daughter between him, called Lili, this girl has never had the surname Chang, and when she was sent to the United States, the owner of the brothel, Xin Daiyu, changed her surname, surnamed Chang, when she was sent away, Xin Daiyu and Xiao Yuegui both cried into tears。 Chang Lixiong also had a holiday with Song Shoubei at the beginning because of a daughter, this Song Shoubei is not a good stubble, this person was also bent on getting Xiao Yuegui at the beginning, but was saved by Chang Lixiong, Chang Lixiong asked the account office to return Song Shoubei's big yellow croaker, but Song Shoubei still didn't want to look, Chang Lixiong said to give him two gold bars, but he still didn't want to, and when people were about to get angry, he threw a knife over, but he said okay, in fact, he was still against Chang Lixiong in the open and secret。

Chang Lixiong didn't put much effort into this woman, when Xiao Yuegui was kidnapped, it was Huang Peiyu who saved her, and then sent her to Chang Lixiong, but it was also at this time that Chang Lixiong found out that Huang Peiyu was actually a talented person, and he still left Huang Peiyu by his side in the future opportunity, but Song Shoubei wanted Huang Peiyu's life, and it was in this battle that in order to protect Huang Peiyu, Chang Lixiong was hit and was seriously injured, but the last key shot was played by Huang Peiyu's partner, who gave Chang Lixiong a fatal shot, and he died like this, he died for Huang Peiyu, and Huang Peiyu was also involved in this murder. So at the last moment, when Xiao Yuegui knew the truth of the matter, she was so angry and so sad, so she would seek revenge on Huang Peiyu, and it was also at the end that they wanted to call Huang Peiyu out, and then solve Huang Peiyu in a wilderness. It can be seen that she doesn't really like Huang Peiyu, although Huang Peiyu asked for her body and slept with her many times, she still didn't get her heart, and Xiao Yuegui's beloved person should be Chang Lixiong.

When Chang Lixiong died, he also took care of Xiao Yuegui in every way, gave Xiao Yuegui his own sword, or said that he would give it to someone who could protect her, this woman really did it in the end, but this woman's charm is too great, and there is another person who also died because he liked her, that is Lu Dagongzi, the son of Hu Junzhi, this man is also very interesting, I don't know what happened, he actually offended Huang Peiyu, so in many cases, he also hopes to rectify Huang Peiyu, who can say clearly about the grievances and hatreds on the beachWhen he said that the person he liked was Xiao Yuegui and wanted to marry her, his father said, this woman is not something you can afford to marry, it seems that you are dying soon, it is really like this, by chance, he actually kissed Xiao Yuegui like this, so it is not strange that he was murdered, there are so many people who like her. And Yu Qiyang has always been a follower, when he was the first king of Shanghai, that is, during the period of Chang Lixiong, he was a follower, and when Huang Peiyu was born, he was still a follower, but he is still very emotional, he is also wholeheartedly following Chang Ye, and he is loyal to Chang Ye, so he is a person that Xiao Yuegui looks up to, so in the future career, Xiao Yuegui has always helped him become the new king of Shanghai. When he was in the Seven Stars Array, Xiao Yuegui helped Huang Peiyu, so Huang Peiyu also had the grace of knowing Xiao Yuegui because of such a thing, he always thought that Xiao Yuegui had helped him, so he also liked Xiao Yuegui very much, and that Jensen also liked Xiao Yuegui, this gringo, when he wanted to sleep with Xiao Yuegui, it was a deal, but before it was done, he was caught by Huang Peiyu and asked him for a piece of land, but this Jensen was also very unconvinced, and he was also killed, they fought over it like this, in fact, the land is still that land, but there are countless people who have died because of this, and it is not worth it。 In the end, when Huang Peiyu personally told Xiao Yuegui that he was sorry for Chang Lixiong, in fact, at this time, he told Xiao Yuegui the truth, and only then did he know that Huang Peiyu was actually the one who killed Chang Lixiong together, so Xiao Yuegui was very angry and killed him.

And when Yu Qiyang killed Lord Daotai, it was Huang Peiyu who arranged for him to go to the East, there are so many grievances and hatreds between them, I can't tell who is helping whom, who is killing whom, this is difficult to distinguish, but I still deeply admire this Xiao Yuegui, such a woman, although she was very inconspicuous when she was in a brothel, but this woman is also a capable person, when she returned to Shanghai again, although it was just a play, but she was very capable, until Huang Peiyu found her, founded Shenqu in Shanghai, supported her career, and she was also here from generation to generation of Shanghai kings, Living, watching these fights and killings between them, watching the life and death of these people, life and death may be a matter of an instant, just sooner or later, and it is not very easy to be the king of Shanghai, the first session was Chang Lixiong, who was also hunted down, and Huang Peiyu was also chased and killed by Hu Jun, the previous Shanghai was really not peaceful at all.
