Xia Wan Jin herself has lost count of how many times she has been reborn.
Everyone is amazed that Strategist Xia can sit in the tiny confines of her chambers and still know the smallest details of everything happening under heaven. Only Xia Wan Jin knows why: they are all things she has experienced firsthand in her past lives.
Moving among princes, nobles, and ministers, she quietly plans her grand scheme while guarding her secret. She's afraid that if the truth ever comes out, everyone will take her for a thousand-year-old demon and burn her alive.
It isn't until her final rebirth, when her powerful backer Xiao Yanzhi appears, that Xia Wan Jin realizes her tumultuous life in this chaotic age has finally reached its end.

When Xia Wan Jin is keeping up her disguise:
Xiao Yanzhi: "What do you think the relationship between ruler and subject should be, Xia Qing?"
She bows, eyes lowered. "The ruler is the head, and the subject is the limbs."
Xiao Yanzhi, looking innocent: "Then why are you hiding? Is it so strange for me to sleep while holding my own limbs?"
Xia Wan Jin: "...I'll put up with it!"

When Xia Wan Jin drops her disguise:
Looking down at the unconscious Xiao Yanzhi, she gives a cold chuckle. "You little punk. Who knows how many years I've lived in all my lifetimes? You think you can take me on?"
She pinches Xiao Yanzhi's handsome cheek. "Poor thing. You think I'm your chess piece, but you're the one who's just a tool to me."
Xiao Yanzhi keeps his eyes shut, resisting the urge to let the vein at his temple throb visibly.
To see Xia Qing's true face, he decides he can pretend to faint a few more times.

To give you peace in this life, I'll conquer the city with my sword.
