Caishen Dou Zhanlong

To read a forbidden heavenly book, the Taoist Cui makes a fateful error: he unleashes the legendary treasure-gathering golden toad. Enchanted by the mortal realm, the toad reincarnates as a human named Dou Zhanlong. But this act invites a heavenly calamity. To escape divine punishment, Dou Zhanlong's very soul is shattered into nine clones, each cast into a different parallel timeline. Trapped in a brutal cycle of "nine deaths and thirteen disasters" where one's demise only births another, the story begins with the first Dou Zhanlong as he faces his cursed fate.
