The Dragon Emperor in Reverse

On the fictional continent of Saint Laurent, the Dragon, Dog, Tiger, and other zodiac signs are not symbols, but real bloodline ranks. Long Jiji, born in the Year of the Dragon and the Month of the Rooster, is the eldest son of the top aristocratic family, the Canglong Duchy. But he’s an oddity: despite having dragon blood, he awakened the instinct to crow like a rooster. This has made him a laughingstock among the nobility. On the surface, he throws his weight around and constantly yells, “Take him down!” In reality, he’s a coward through and through. The moment his opponent draws a sword, he drops to his knees and begs for mercy.
