In Huaxia, boys dream of partnering with girls to pilot Chrysalises, massive transforming robots built to fight the mecha aliens lurking beyond the Great Wall. The fact that many girls die from the mental strain doesn't seem to matter.
When 18-year-old Zetian volunteers as a concubine-pilot, her true motive is revenge: she wants to kill the ace pilot responsible for her sister's death. But she accomplishes this in an unexpected way—by killing him through their psychic connection and walking away unharmed. Labeled an Iron Widow, a feared female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power the Chrysalises, Zetian is thrust into a new, dangerous role.
Paired with Li Shimin, the strongest and most infamous male pilot, Huaxia attempts to control her power. But now that Zetian has tasted power, she refuses to be silenced. She plans to use their combined strength to survive every assassination attempt and uncover the truth behind the misogynistic pilot system, determined to stop the sacrifice of more girls.
