“This isn’t an anime! This unbelievable feeling, it’s all real!”

After a traffic accident, childhood friends Xi Yun and Luo Yang are transported to a wild continent completely unlike the real world.

When they wake, they discover that they’ve both turned into young girls, while powerful humanoid mechs battle right before their eyes.

Just then, at the end of a dark cave, guided by butterflies and flowers that seem like illusions, a unique mech appears before Xi Yun. And somehow, Xi Yun knows its name...

Chosen by the mech known as “White Rose,” Xi Yun, a Gundam fan, decides to become the protagonist of this story.

But Xi Yun doesn’t realize that becoming the protagonist of a mech story like Gundam is anything but easy.

“White Rose” is a sacred relic that saved the world alongside a Valkyrie three hundred years ago. Can she overcome every obstacle and become the savior worthy of it?

And what does the one and only being beneath White Rose’s armor, inside the mech, want to tell Xi Yun?

Gundam is honestly so good, especially when there's no Gundam in the world. It's even more exciting to imagine. What a shame there's one book like that, but it has a female lead.
