Syra Li is beautiful, brilliant… and broken.
A reclusive artist haunted by the world’s obsession with her face—but never her soul.

Lou Yan has loved her in silence for years.
Disciplined. Steady. Unshakable.
When their paths finally cross, he doesn’t chase. He stays.

No promises. No pressure.
Just quiet devotion that begins to melt her walls.

But can a woman who’s only ever been seen…
Finally be known?

Or will the truth he's kept in the shadows ruin everything?
Because even devotion can look a lot like obsession in the wrong light.

Beyond The Superficial: The Monk Who Loves Me In Silence

I want to sincerely apologize for the unexpected delay in updates. I've been down with a terrible flu these past few days and couldn't find the strength to write.

But please know that as soon as I'm well enough, I'll be making it up to you with a mass release to thank you for your patience and support.

To all my silent readers and everyone who's stuck with this story—I see you, and I'm truly grateful. Thank you for choosing to read my book. You mean more to me than you know.
