Xu Na had just gotten out of bed, preparing to take her dog for a walk, when there was an urgent knock at the door—"Knock, knock, knock."
Xu Na's heart skipped a beat instinctively. She hadn't slept all night, her mind weighed down with things, as though a sword were hanging over her head.
The abrupt knocking tightened her already frayed nerves and made her chest feel heavy and uncomfortable.

The Pomeranian spun in circles by her feet, whining incessantly. Annoyed, Xu Na shot it a glare: "Behave yourself. Mommy's going to answer the door."
Xu Na slipped into her slippers and went to open the door. The Pomeranian followed closely at her pant leg.
Standing at the doorway was a young man in a dark, impeccably pressed uniform, exuding an overpowering sense of authority.
