Yukinari has never smiled after his father's death. Then, he was called to the residence of Empress consort Teishi and was to meet the famous poet Sei Shonagon. He also notices Sanekata, who was Shonagon's former lover. After Teishi was banished from the capital, rumors spread of Shonagon also leaving as well. Yukinari went to their exile and exchange advice with her. After multiple meetings, Teishi and Shonagon return to the capital a year after the empress's exile. From there, Yukinari begins to have feelings for the famous author of Makura no Soshi but continue to exchange advices. Then, Shonagon writes a poem to Yukinari, then Yukinari replies—that her guard is always off—with another poem. They meet again at the residence, and Yukinari calls out his feelings for her. Shonagon decides that only her heart will be open, not her love. Yukinari replies that she shows him her face. Still, Shonagon refuses to do so.
