I Am the Son of Taotie

Taotie, one of the four ferocious beasts in ancient times. As the fifth son of the dragon, it does not become a dragon. It only accepts the dragon's boundless evil spirit and greed. It looks like a wolf, eats well, and has eyes in its armpits. Zhang Shao was born with a bloody birthmark on the back of his left hand, which resembles the Taotie pattern on ancient bronze vessels. Is this a blessing or a curse? On the way to becoming stronger, Zhang Shao discovered that he actually carried the incomplete Taotie bloodline and was still the son of Taotie! Is the Taotie really an ominous beast like the one in the legend? As the saying goes: "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix". Why does a dragon give birth to nine sons, but none of the nine sons become dragons? Or... Is there another secret? This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
