"Grown Wild in the Summer" tells the story of Yang Yining, a poor girl who tries to escape from a gloomy family after entering Mingde University, but is pursued by her father's gambling debts. The rumors on campus, the contempt of her roommates, and the threats from debt collectors made her struggle in the mud.
By chance, she met Yang Chengnan, who came from a wealthy family. His appearance was like a sudden light, briefly illuminating her gloomy life, but it also brought more complicated entanglements - his approach brought temptation and comparison, and his circle concealed contempt and hurt. When dependence turns into collapse, when tenderness turns into a sharp blade, Yang Yining understands that the shackles of fate will never be easily loosened.
In that hot and cruel summer, she was forced to be torn between survival and dignity, struggling between false warmth and real pain, like a weed growing stubbornly in the cracks of the rocks, trying her best to catch her own glimmer of light, but she was drawn into a deeper whirlpool time and time again. This is a battle about survival, betrayal and self-salvation. It is also the story of a girl's brutal growth against fate in a desperate situation.
