In this post-apocalyptic world, humans rely on "cognitive solidification" technology to build island-like "ordered cities" based on distorted physical rules. Outside the city lies a wasteland where "abnormal entities" that cannot be understood roam.
There is a supernatural profession called "archivists" who "define" unknown things by writing files and "accommodate" them into a different space called "archives" to protect reality. However, in an accident, the protagonist Lin Che was accidentally "contained" by the wrong file she wrote and became a "living containment object".
