"Beloved Only When Broken" is a poignant tale of silence, cruelty, and unexpected love set within the heart of the imperial palace. Shen Yunxi, a mute and delicate concubine, has been sold to the Emperor by his ruthless father in exchange for wealth and power. Having endured a childhood marked by neglect and abuse, he arrives at the imperial court where he is treated as nothing more than a fragile possession. The other concubines and the Emperor's court mock him for his silence, viewing him as weak and dispensable. The Emperor, Xiao Zhenyu, is cold, distant, and indifferent to the lives of his concubines. With a heart hardened by years of betrayal, he views love as a weakness. But when he crosses paths with Yunxi, something stirs deep within him. Yunxi's quiet strength, his resilience despite unimaginable pain, captivates the Emperor, though he remains unaware of the storm quietly brewing within the boy's heart. As the cruel Empress, manipulative concubines, and a heartless court seek to break Yunxi further, Xiao Zhenyu begins to question everything he once believed about love, power, and his own emotions. Slowly, he learns to apologize, to regret, and, in time, to love the broken concubine he once ignored. But can love truly heal the deepest wounds? Or will their painful pasts prove to be a wall too high to scale? In a palace where betrayal, lies, and cruelty run deep, only the most fragile hearts can endure the weight of love-and only when they are broken, will they truly be cherished.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a state of profound fatigue that is not improved by bed rest and that may get worse with physical or mental activity. This fatigue significantly interferes with daily activities and work. I have that syndrome. My name is William Elijah Brookes and I haven't left the house in over two months.
