Lyria Slade has spent her life surviving. Fixing her own broken things. Locking her own doors. Needing no one. Until a busted garbage chute, a leaking faucet, and a citywide blackout shove her into the orbit of Damian Cross-the quiet, steady neighbor across the hall who repairs broken things without being asked.
He offers time. He offers trust.
He asks for nothing in return.
As leaking ceilings give way to late-night kitchens and shy hands tangling across a shared couch, Lyria is forced to confront the terrifying truth: not every kindness demands a price. Some people stay. Some people hold you gently, even when you're all sharp edges.
Still Yes is a slow-burn story of found family, quiet healing, and love built not in grand gestures, but in the small, steady moments no one else sees.
The ones that last.

Lin Qiyan was born into perfection - wealth, intellect, and a family name that demanded nothing less than obedience. When her parents arranged her marriage to Zhao Yichen, a stoic heir from another powerful family, she accepted without protest. Their relationship was built not on love, but on duty - a quiet coexistence wrapped in respect. But the morning after their wedding, Qiyan's life is stolen. Her soul is torn from her body, cast into a cruel world where she becomes a nameless girl with nothing but scars. Trapped with abusive parents and stripped of her identity, she learns what it means to suffer, to endure, and to break. Years later, when death finally releases her and she awakens once more in her original body, the world she knew has not paused for her pain. Her husband is distant, her family unchanged, and her heart no longer whole. Haunted by memories of violence and silence, Qiyan must learn to live again - to find warmth in the man who was once a stranger, and to rediscover love in the quiet between two broken hearts. A story of loss, healing, and love that blooms from the ashes - The Silence Between Our Hearts is a tender, heartbreaking journey of what it means to return, not as who you were, but as who you've become. --- If someone comes up with a better photo, please comment.
