Live happily ever after/ afterwards

Hi

Could you please tell me the difference between?

1- Live happily ever after!
2- Live happily ever afterwards

No difference except for the exclamation.

"Live happily ever after" reminds me of the typical final sentence in a fairy tale:

"And they lived happily ever after."
