The Toad and the Swan: Past and Present Lives

The Toad and the Swan: Their Past and Present Lives

When the names on the Three Lives Stone are tied into a dead knot by the Matchmaker himself, would you still defy heaven and fate for love?

Bai Yu, Heaven’s most dazzling lead dancer, and Jin Chan, the cold-faced divine general who guards the Three Realms, are banished to the mortal world for their forbidden love. She becomes a beautiful swan who wanders the human world, with a love life full of twists and turns. He becomes a lovesick toad, scarred all over, silently watching over her. Over ten lifetimes, she falls into the arms of princes, nobles, and generals, only to be hurt by their false affection. On every rainy night, he becomes a delivery man, an antiques dealer, or a mecha mechanic, piecing together a redemption spanning a thousand years with bloodstained delivery slips, broken bronze coins, and battle-damaged mechanical arms.

From the flowing silk of the Jade Pool’s immortal realm to the gunfights and cheongsams of old Shanghai; from soul-locking nails on the Execution Platform to the Time Administration Bureau in a modern city, this battle between a blood-red marriage decree and the laws of heaven conceals a truth that cuts to the heart: the scornful saying “a toad lusts after a swan” was really about a god staking his immortal bones to carve out a way to live for the one he loved.

If you cried over “Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms” and were on tenterhooks over “Someday or One Day,” you’ll be swept up in this dazzling tale that blends Eastern mythology with time travel. When the “rebound guy” sheds the mask of the war god from his past life, and the “gold digger” awakens the power of the creator god, this forbidden love that scorches the Three Realms will finally find its breathtaking answer in a new world as clear as crystal.

Readers everywhere are clamoring for updates! See how a devoted god trades ten lifetimes of solitude for her words: “This time, let me be the one to chase you.” The year’s most groundbreaking immortal romance, where classical aesthetics meet modern redemption. You won’t regret diving in!
