At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, in Liangyi, a remote mountain village isolated from the world, twenty young men were chosen as warriors to venture out and purchase salt. Faced with the prosperity and rigid class order outside the mountains, some were determined to climb the "Nine Lives" ladder, resorting to any means necessary, regardless of the cost; others saw the "Nine Lives" ladder as a test, and the more hardships they endured, the more resolute their desire to return home became. As war spread, everyone faced the final choice: accept their inherent fate, or fight tooth and nail to ascend to the Nine Lives ladder?
西周末年，与世隔绝的深山小村梁邑，二十名青年被选为勇士，出山购盐。面对山外的繁华与森严的阶层秩序，有人执意攀爬“九命”之阶，不择手段、不惜代价；有人将“九命”看作对自己的考验，愈受磨难，回归的心反而愈坚定。当战火蔓延，每个人都要面对最终的选择：是接受与生俱来的命运，还是为荣登九命放手一搏？
