Junuo was exiled, Shen Ye was locked away in the Qinan Divine Palace to forge swords, and Alanruo was sentenced to reflect on her actions in the Chimei Courtyard for two years.
This was the first time Shen Ye and Alanruo had been separated for this long in the twenty years since he entered seclusion, and he truly came to understand the meaning of "a single day apart feels like three autumns." Alanruo was no better off. She had grown accustomed to a life with Shen Ye constantly by her side. With their sudden separation, Alanruo looked at the empty space beside her and felt an emptiness in her heart as well.
After a few days, Shen Ye simply could not bear it any longer and began writing letters to Alanruo. When Chacha handed Shen Ye's letter to Alanruo, her eyes lit up. She eagerly opened it and immediately wrote a reply back to him.
