In a futuristic Huaxia, giant transforming robots called Chrysalises battle alien threats, piloted by boys paired with girls who often die from the mental strain. When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself as a concubine-pilot, her goal is vengeance against the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. Unexpectedly, she kills him through their psychic link and emerges unscathed, earning the feared title of Iron Widow—a female pilot capable of sacrificing boys to power the mechs. Now paired with the formidable Li Shimin, Zetian refuses to be controlled, determined to leverage her newfound power and their combined infamy to survive and expose the misogynistic system sacrificing girls.
