Tell me, who hasn’t come across those kinds of videos while tossing and turning, unable to sleep late at night?

Maybe it’s a leisurely camping trip, maybe a soothing wilderness build, or maybe an entertaining wilderness survival challenge.

Lin Yan was one of those viewers. Her favorite thing was to lie in bed with her phone plugged in, lying on her side with her left foot crossed over her right, watching wilderness survival videos.

Bear Grylls is so tough he can live off the land, while Ed Stafford is so steady he goes hungry nine days out of ten.

Besides these long-established survival experts, each with their own style, there are plenty of other tough contenders in the wilderness survival world, like the Ox King Roland and the Deer God Jordan.

They all came from a show called Wilderness Survival.

A group of people are dropped into the polar wilderness to fend for themselves, and the last survivor wins a million-dollar prize. The clash of instinct and desire, humanity mingling with nature: all of it fascinates Lin Yan, a committed lie-flat enthusiast.

Then one day, her laid-back life is disrupted, and she signs up as a contestant on the wilderness survival show. How far can she make it?

This isn’t a post-apocalyptic world where law and morality have collapsed, but the wilderness is still full of lurking dangers. How will Lin Yan deal with them?

(A daydream from a seasoned wilderness-survival fan who died suddenly while watching videos. The story leans toward a documentary style and won’t recklessly hand out golden fingers.)

(I researched every plant and animal that appears in the story. I can’t accept ridiculous things like rosemary growing for ages at high latitudes.)
