The story follows the past and present lives of the three azure birds, Nuwa's mount, and Dijun's youngest son. Beside the Stone of Three Lives, at the East River Pavilion, their fate spans seven lifetimes.
To meet or not to meet, to resent or not to resent: love, hate, anger, and desire turn on a single thought. One character, longing, leaves only regret.
Love turns to hate, love turns to anger, love turns to longing, love turns to yearning. Since they parted, anger, hatred, longing, and yearning have become an endless ache of missing you.
When the fireworks fade and all the splendor is gone, it is not floating clouds that obscure the view. Six strings and three pillars bring back the years gone by. One flower, one seed, one world; one person, one lifetime, how many loves? The Bridge of Three Lives: Are the ties of a past life truly at an end? Are they truly at an end?
