However, now she is deemed as a threat to the state when she may in fact be its only salvation.
She gets her vengeance in the most unexpected manner and becomes a force to be reckoned with. The protagonist is 18-year-old Zetian (a re-imagination of the empress), who offers herself up as a “disposable female concubine-pilot,” in order to avenge her sister who was killed by an ace male pilot. The story is also a retelling of the rise of Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, who ruled between 665 AD to 705 AD. Also, the female pilots die disproportionately in battles, drained of their life force by their partner. However, that pairing is not created equally, male pilots are treated like celebrities, while female pilots must serve as their concubines. Their only best bet against aliens are giant transforming robots called Chrysalises, which require a male and female pairing to pilot. Iron Widow is set in the fictional world of Huaxia where humanity is tormented by alien invaders.
