In the ninth century BC, signs of the collapse of rituals and music in the Western Zhou Dynasty began to appear. In the Xing State on the side of Wang Ji, the Geng family, a bronze casting family with a century-old heritage, received a secret order from the king that could determine the fate of the country: to cast the "Nine Beast Cauldron".
Geng, the youngest heir of the family, is extremely talented but does not adhere to the laws of his ancestors. He faces the crisis of obsolete skills, the jealousy of his elder brother, and the covetousness of external forces. When the cold bronze melts in the blazing fire, what he wants to cast is not only a ritual vessel symbolizing power, but also the glory of the family, the future of the country, and his own destiny in the torrent of the times.
