In episode 22 of “Early Spring”, Flora finally broke up with Luke. It was only then that Luke truly began to realize the extent of his mistakes – all the wrongdoings, harsh words and hurtful words he had said to Flora over their six-year relationship. But by then it was already too late. Flora had already left Beijing, taking her dog Luke with her, and resigned from Lyme.
Flora returned to her hometown, determined to start over. With a new job and a new life, she tried to leave her painful past, including Luke, behind her.
I’m crying and laughing at the same time 😭 Look at them… They are literally divorced parents fighting over their child.

But Luke wasn’t ready to let her go.
Two years later, Luke returned to Flora’s life. He apologized, begged for her forgiveness, and did everything he could to show her that he had changed.
From stalking Flora to visiting her mother’s restaurant, Luke made it clear that he was willing to go to any lengths to get her back.
After a series of emotional moments and heartbreaking confessions, Flora finally forgave Luke. She realized that he was no longer the cold and harsh person she had known before. Luke became more tender, softer and, most importantly, finally learned to love and take care of her.
And now the moment the fans have been waiting for has arrived.
Early spring ended on the most beautiful note: Luke proposed marriage to Flora in the sweetest way. And, of course, Flora said “YES!” with tears of happiness in my eyes.
Finally, Luke and Flora’s secret weekend romance got the ending it deserved – an ongoing, everyday love story that was no longer a secret.
Will there be a Season 2 of Early Spring?
Fans are simply not ready to say goodbye to “Early Spring” and are already eager to continue the passionate romance of Luke and Flora. So, naturally, the big question is: will we get a second season of Early Spring?
Well, the chances of a second season currently seem very low. Why? Because Luke and Flora got the perfect “happily ever after” in the finale. In Episode 24, “Early Spring,” their emotional journey culminated with Luke proposing to Flora and the couple finally choosing a future together.
