Shen Nianchu decides to leave Lu Linzhou for good. She receives a call confirming her departure time for the capital and decides to attend Lu Linzhou's party one last time before saying goodbye. Watching Lu Linzhou embrace Jiang Jingxue, his "white moonlight," under the fireworks, Shen Nianchu silently thanks him for five years of financial support that helped her escape the mountains. However, she also clearly realizes she was merely a "substitute" and "follower" in his pursuit of Jiang Jingxue. Finally, Shen Nianchu walks up to Lu Linzhou in front of everyone, submits her resignation letter, and officially declares her break and new beginning.
