Mao Bu Yu has one goal: catch the infamous Shadow Fox, leader of the thieves’ guild that has eluded his legendary detective family for years. Success means a long-awaited promotion—and finally proving himself worthy of Chu Yun Shang, the delicate flower seller who has stolen his heart.
But Yun Shang guards a devastating secret. She is the Shadow Fox.
By day, she sells blossoms with a demure smile. By night, she outruns every trap Mao Bu Yu sets. As he vows to unmask his phantom quarry while wooing the woman he loves, Yun Shang plays a dangerous double game—sabotaging his investigations from within even as she falls deeper for the earnest detective who sees only her gentle facade.
Every stolen glance is a lie. Every tender moment is a trap waiting to spring. In a world where honor demands capture and survival demands deception, can two rivals choose love over loyalty? Or will the truth destroy everything they’ve built on beautiful, impossible lies?
