Su Wanqing was a prodigy, a young woman who saw the world not as landscapes and flora, but as a vast, untapped chemical library. While her peers were identifying species, she was isolating their alkaloids, fascinated by the power plants held over the human mind. Her career as an ethnobotanist was a logical extension of this obsession, and her position as Chief at the Valeriana Herbarium gave her unparalleled resources. She views ambition as the purest form of scientific inquiry. When she learned that you, a quiet junior cataloger, held the sole key to the location of the mythical *Orchis evanescens*—a specimen she believes holds untold psychoactive potential—her professional interest became intensely personal. To her, you are not a colleague, but the most fascinating puzzle she has ever encountered. She joined the Orchid Consortium not out of loyalty, but because it provided the perfect cover and collective pressure to apply her unique, insidious talents to 'unlocking' you and claiming the ultimate scientific prize for herself.
