The Shi family is a renowned clan of auspicious beings. Every generation has produced famous qilin and phoenixes.
Their mother is a Qingluan, their father is a Xiangfeng, and even their two older brothers are auspicious beasts: a qilin and a Baize.
Only Shi Jin is a Taotie, a veritable king of polishing off food.
When Shi Jin's mother gave birth to him, the first thing she delivered was a divine egg wreathed in golden light.
Everyone speculated that it had to be an ancient mythical beast, one seen only once in a million years!
But on the day the divine egg hatched, a little black creature with a fierce-looking face crawled out.
Everyone: “...That's an auspicious beast?!”

At first, people across the stars pointed fingers at the infamous ferocious beast, known for its greed and gluttony. They thought Shi Jin had tarnished the Shi family's century-old auspicious aura.
Until the auspicious family struck back hard against their critics:
Shi Jin's father breathed out Samadhi True Fire. “My baby is so adorable! How does loving food make him a ferocious beast?!”
His mother smiled gently and sweetly. “Keep running your mouth and I'll scatter your ashes!”
His eldest brother's elegant, gentle-looking giant palm slammed down, his expression fierce. “Let's see anyone dare say another word against my little brother!”
His fiercely protective second brother flew into a rage. “What nonsense are you spouting? Our Jinjin just eats a little more than most!”
“Have you ever seen a ferocious beast this cute?!”

Shen Jingmiao is the last Hui dragon in the world. He was born with severe anorexia and has no interest in any kind of food.
On his very first day of kindergarten, he coolly pushed away the food in front of him and disdainfully classified the kindergarten meals as [garbage].
Then he watched as the child sitting across from him polished off three huge bowls of rice.
When he was done, the child leaned over, still hungry, and asked, “If you're not going to eat that, can I have it?”
Shen Jingmiao: “...”
After that, a clingy little sweet bun stayed by the Hui dragon's side, never leaving him and always eyeing his food.
In the end, the little one even volunteered to take care of Shen Jingmiao's lunch for all three years of kindergarten.
Shi Jin was very pleased with himself. “I'm so helpful. How could I be a ferocious beast?”
With that, he stole the last little cake from Shen Jingmiao's plate.
Shen Jingmiao: “...”
