A Throne of Broken Glass
A Throne of Broken Glass**
**Shen Ruobing** is a woman who has everything: a global business empire, unparalleled skills in combat and finance, and a reputation as the "Solitary Empress" of the modern world. Despite her cold exterior, she possesses a heart of gold, secretly using her vast wealth to protect the vulnerable. But her own vulnerability lies in her husband, **Lu Tingli**, an architect whose broken spirit she mended with years of silent devotion.
The glass palace of her marriage shatters when **Lin Yue**, Tingli’s "White Moonlight" and first love, miraculously returns from the dead. Lin Yue is not the angel Tingli remembers; she is a master manipulator who uses her "fragile" state to turn Tingli against his wife.
Blinded by guilt and a savior complex, Tingli commits the ultimate sin: he uses Ruobing’s strength as a weapon against her. He mocks her resilience, claiming she "doesn't need love" because she is powerful, while he abandons and humiliates her to protect the "weak" Lin Yue. From public insults to choosing Lin Yue's safety over Ruobing's life during a crisis, Tingli systematically tears down the woman who gave him everything.
But a Queen is not defined by the man beside her. After a final, devastating betrayal that leaves Ruobing physically scarred and emotionally dead, she does the one thing Tingli never expected: **she stops caring.**
Ruobing returns to her throne, colder and more powerful than ever, erasing Tingli from her life with surgical precision. When the veil finally falls and Tingli discovers Lin Yue’s true, malicious nature, he returns to Ruobing, begging for a second chance. But the woman who once stood in the rain for him is gone. Standing upon a throne built from the shards of her broken heart, the Empress has only one message for the man who threw her away:
**"You didn't think I needed protection? You were right. I am the storm."
