The Qixi Toad is actually an internet meme.
This is mainly because the sound of frogs' calls is similar to "lonely". That means being single.

What is Chinese Valentine's Day?

The Chinese Valentine's Day, also known as the Qiqiao Festival, the Seven Sisters Festival, the Daughters' Day, the Qiqiao Festival, the Qinianshui, the Qixi Festival, the Niugong Niupo Day, and the Qiaoxi Festival, is a traditional Chinese folk festival. The Chinese Valentine's Day evolved from the worship of stars and is the traditional birthday of the Seventh Sister. Because the worship of the "Seventh Sister" is held on the seventh night of July, it is named "Chinese Valentine's Day". Worshiping the Seven Sisters, praying for blessings and making wishes, begging for skills, watching the Altair and Vega stars, praying for marriage, and storing water for the Qixi Festival are the traditional customs of the Qixi Festival.
The Chinese Valentine's Day is not only a festival to commemorate the Seventh Sister, but also a festival of love. It is a comprehensive festival based on the folk legend of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", with the themes of praying for blessings, begging for skills and love, and women as the main body.
The "Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" of the Chinese Valentine's Day originated from people's worship of natural celestial phenomena. In ancient times, people corresponded astronomical star regions with geographical regions. This correspondence is called "dividing stars" in astronomy and "dividing fields" in geography.
According to legend, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge in the sky.
