After the war, Lan Wangji has taken Wei Wuxian back home, back to their makeshift house in the town. They rested from exhaustion, slept for what seemed like days. Their shared bed begins to carry their mixed scents of roses, apples, and rainstorms.

Life gradually returns to normal as it could be. Lan Wangji woke up earlier and went downstairs doing errands and chores. One late morning, when Wei Wuxian finally wakes up to find the bed empty. He will find a single red rose resting next to him on his pillow. A gift from his mate.
