Early morning.
In the middle of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Huazhou City, the capital of the Daxing Dynasty, was unbearably hot and sweltering like a big steamer.

After just one glance, Xia Xiaoji closed her eyes dejectedly.
The little girl's cries lingered in her ears, and the shaking continued.
