The Skylark Strikes Back

Mature leads. I'll start posting when I have enough collections.

[He thought she was his prey. But in the end, everything was the other way around.]

The first time Mu Wenze met Ji Yin, she was naive and inexperienced, like a little skylark with nowhere to go, flying straight into his arms.

The man remained unmoved and tipped his head back, draining his drink. The hazy, hypnotic lights traced his stern features as Mu Wenze spoke, sounding almost like a warning.

"You shouldn't have come to me."

He moved in the wealthy, dissolute circles of the upper class, a complicated and chaotic world completely unsuited to a little skylark.

But Ji Yin answered with utter sincerity: "Please let me stay by your side."

Before long, news about the young master of the Mu family spread through the whole circle. His rich playboy friends teased him, asking him to bring out his precious little skylark so they could have a look.

Mu Wenze held a cigarette between his fingers and let it burn. "No."

Someone joked, "Brother Mu, why are you being so protective? She's not your girlfriend."

One glance from the man instantly silenced the entire private room.

Mu Wenze casually stubbed out his cigarette. "She's mine all the same."

Later, the little skylark left him in tears.

Mu Wenze told himself that if she wanted to leave, she could. It wasn't a big deal. But after countless sleepless nights, he finally realized he had fallen for her.

He went mad searching for her, but found nothing.

At last, at a gathering of the elite, Mu Wenze saw the little skylark he hadn't seen in so long.

Ji Yin was now a renowned composer in the industry, worth hundreds of millions. Today was her first public appearance.

Mu Wenze was about to approach her when he heard her speak in a light, careless tone.

"Young Master Mu? He was useless, so I threw him away."

The female lead is a composer. She only sought out the male lead because she had lost her inspiration.
