After Yuan Zhu’s death and her failed promotion, Flora had already reached her emotional limit. Luke’s harsh words and constant disrespect whenever his possessiveness gets the better of him will eventually be the breaking point. As stated in the episode 21 preview, Flora stands up for herself and stands up to Luke, finally releasing all the anger, resentment, and emotions she’s been pent up.
Flora will eventually leave Lime, leave Luke, and leave Beijing. In an important moment, she makes it clear that she is not giving up or running away – she is simply deciding to start over and begin a new chapter of her life.
