A remarkable adventure story begins with a group of flesh-and-blood people. What they brought with them was not only equipment, but also their own past and obsessions.
· Protagonist: Elvira, a brilliant but disreputable botanist. Exiled from academia due to a laboratory "accident", she firmly believes that the rare orchid she is pursuing in the rainforest, which is said to be able to "rewrite memories," is the only chance to restore her reputation and life. Her motivations begin with utilitarianism, but will be completely purified during the journey.
· Guide: Karip, the guardian of the local tribe, the last person who knows the path to the holy land "Breathing Valley". His silence is like an ancient tree, with tribal wisdom and pain engraved in every wrinkle. The purpose of his trip is not to assist outsiders, but to fulfill an ancient prophecy and protect a dangerous secret.
· Funder: Reynolds, a charismatic billionaire who claimed to be funding the expedition for the "benefit of mankind." He carries a locked metal box with him, and his manner always reveals a secret urgency that belies his generous appearance. He is the variable in the team and the source of suspicion.
· Documentary Director: Lina, a young artist eager to capture the truth with her lens. She is the reader's eyes, trying to record everything that happens, but she sees completely different "reality" inside and outside the camera.
