Lee Sheng-mu's elite career began in the 2009 badminton season when he reached the semifinals of the 2009 Korea Open Super Series in the men's doubles with Fang Chieh-min.[4] The pair continued their success in 2010 with victories at the 2010 Singapore Super Series and the 2010 Indonesia Super Series.[5][6] He and Fang reached the quarterfinals of the 2012 London Olympics losing to Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen of Denmark.[7] After the 2012 Olympics, Lee stopped playing with Fang Chieh-min, partnering with Tsai Chia-hsin instead.

Together they represented Chinese Taipei in the 2016 Rio Olympics, where they failed to progress out of the group stage.[9] Lee is also partnered with Chien Yu-chin in mixed doubles. Their top result came in 2010 when they reached the semifinals of the 2010 Paris World Championships and won the bronze medal.
