On mornings when he's not in the mood to ruin someone's day-or mess with that Monkey boy and the Dragon Girl-Red Son finds himself wandering the grand halls of the city museum. Within its marbled corridors, beneath towering ceilings and ancient echoes, he walks not as a prince of flame, but as a quiet observer. He listens to the tour guides recount tales of long-forgotten empires, their voices weaving through exhibits of relics and artifacts, each whispering stories older than memory.
He ascends the sweeping staircase, passing portraits of ancient emperors and solemn statues frozen in time, until he reaches a peculiar door. A library-within a museum. Strange, perhaps. But to him, it's a welcome oddity. A place where silence breathes, and knowledge waits on every shelf. Here, the fire demon takes his quiet reprieve, a book in one hand, hot coffee in the other, as he flips to the first page and lets the world fall away.
Lately, though, it's not just the books that draw him in.
Since the day he saw her-the librarian with eyes like quiet storms-his visits have grown more frequent. Not just to read, but to steal glances, to exchange a few words, to be near.
Fate, ever the mischievous puppeteer, seems intent on intertwining their paths. And Red Son, ever the willing fool in love, keeps returning-chasing those fleeting moments, those quiet chances-just to keep her within reach.

You are DJ, short for Daniella Josephine, MK's adopted sister. At just 9, you were living on the streets when you discovered a crying baby MK. Instantly, you bonded with him and vowed to protect him no matter what.
Years later, after MK wandered off, the two of you met Pigsy, a hardworking Pig demon who took you in and raised you like his own. Though you found peace with your new family, you carried a dark secret that left you scarred and orphaned.
Terrified your family would reject you if they knew, you hid the truth behind a brave face. But everything changed when MK picked up the Monkey King's staff, triggering the Demon Bull King's attack. Forced to reveal your secret to your now 16-year-old brother, you faced new challenges as a team.
Amidst it all, you encountered Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, who won your heart while hinting he knew more about you than he revealed. Then came the Six-Eared Macaque, who also stole your heart, creating a love triangle with the two Monkey demons.
Now, you face an impossible decision: who will you choose, and whose heart will be broken? Find out on Protector!
