Currently Playing: We Pretended to Be Ordinary—Until the World Tried to Take Our Garden

Meng Qingzhou transmigrated into a novel—and unexpectedly awakened the Blind Swordsaint System, becoming a sightless yet peerless swordmaster. Knowing the original plot inside out, he refused to be reduced to a mere stepping stone for the protagonist’s glory. So he chose to “slack off” and enjoy life: tending flowers, walking his dog, teasing maids, and doting on his gentle, devoted wife. What he didn’t realize? His “humble courtyard” was actually the Imperial Palace. The “coquettish maid” was a cold, stunning Sword Immortal. The “flowers” he watered were thousand-year-old divine herbs. The “dog” he walked was the nation’s guardian divine beast. And his “kind, homely wife”? She was none other than the reigning Empress of the realm! The Empress had gone to extraordinary lengths—orchestrating an entire charade where everyone played ordinary folk—just so Meng Qingzhou could live in peaceful ignorance, giving her a rare sanctuary away from the burdens of empire. But little did she know: just as she hid her true identity… so did he hide his power as a Swordsaint! When a rebellious feudal lord accused her: “Empress Dongfang Liuli! You’re so bewitched by Meng Qingzhou’s looks that you neglect state affairs—you deserve death!” Meng Qingzhou shot back without hesitation: *“Nonsense! Being obsessed with my looks is her main duty—as my wife!” When foreign envoys threatened: “Surrender territory and pay tribute—or face annihilation!” He scoffed: “I’ve got barely an acre of land—and you still want to take it? Sword… come!” … Later, when allied nations united to block the Empress’s path to unification, Meng Qingzhou journeyed alone to the border. There, he undid the seals over his eyes. The moment he opened them—the Blind Swordsaint emerged in full glory, shaking heaven and earth. Gazing at the armies of gods and demons descending upon his quiet home, he sighed dryly: “Seriously? Just a few acres in front of my house… and you all think it’s worth fighting over?”*
