The Silence Between Our Hearts.
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.

Love Spilled Like Coffee
Damian Blackwood is a man who has everything-wealth, power, and an unshakable reputation as a ruthless CEO. Love? He never believed in it. To him, emotions were distractions, and relationships were nothing more than business transactions. But everything changes one morning when he accidentally spills coffee on a stranger at a café. Ella Carter, with her soft eyes and warm smile, isn't like the people he's used to. She doesn't fawn over his status or try to impress him. Instead, she simply cleans the mess, gives him a polite nod, and walks away-leaving him utterly captivated. For fifteen days, Damian returns to the café at the same time, just to see her from afar. He doesn't know why. He doesn't even know her name. But something about her makes his carefully controlled world feel unsteady. Then fate takes control. Ella walks into Blackwood Enterprises for an interview, only to realize the man from the café-the one who had been haunting her thoughts-is her new boss. Damian is thrilled but keeps his emotions locked away, offering her the job with a professional mask. As they spend more time together, the tension between them grows. Damian finds himself breaking his own rules, drawn to the warmth and kindness Ella brings into his cold, calculated world. Ella, in turn, sees glimpses of the man beneath the powerful CEO-one who's afraid to love, but even more afraid of losing her. Will Damian finally let go of his fears and embrace the love he never believed in? Or will his hesitation cost him the one thing he never knew he needed? A heartfelt, slow-burn romance about fate, unexpected love, and the power of simple moments that change everything.Complete

When fate (and a meddling professor) pairs them for the university's biggest creative project, sparks fly and not the friendly kind. But deadlines have a way of forcing people together. Between late-night coffee runs, heated arguments, and unexpected laughter, Ava and Liam begin to realize: maybe love doesn't start with butterflies.
