Author’s Note: Welcome to the Grand Premiere! 🌌🎭
Hello, my incredible star-chasers! Welcome to the official pilot episode! 👋✨
The comment sections on Inkitt and NovelToon are absolutely buzzing with excitement, and I am so thrilled to finally pull back the curtain. Before we take our very first steps onto the moonlit tiles of the observatory roof in Chapter 1, we need to set the stage.
Think of Chapter 0 as the ultimate K-drama pilot episode trailer. This is where we establish the beautiful, high-voltage atmosphere of our world, introduce the unedited secrets of our main characters, and meet the supporting cast who will help our leads rewrite the stars.
🎬 Meet the Cast of ‘So Let’s Go See the Stars’
Han Yeon-seo (22): Our brilliant, sharp-tongued female lead. She has a 21st-century aerospace engineering brain trapped inside a Joseon noblewoman’s silk layers.
Grand Prince Mu-jin (24): “The Ghost Prince.” He’s brooding, intensely protective, carrying deep trauma, and living under a devastating curse that turns him into invisible stardust every night at midnight.
Lord Chancellor Minister Hwang: Our ruthless, power-hungry antagonist who treats the historical era like a personal laboratory chessboard.
Chae-won (19) & Guard Captain Yoon (26): Our chaotic, romantic strategist maid and the palace’s most deadpan, stoic warrior. Get ready for some major second-lead syndrome!
Turn down the lights, put on your absolute favorite cinematic fantasy drama soundtrack, and let’s dive into the official introduction. The countdown to midnight has begun! 👇
The Shattered Constellation (Cast Introduction)
They say that when a star dies, it doesn’t simply vanish. It folds into itself, collapsing under the terrifying weight of its own gravity until it tears a permanent, weeping scar into the fabric of space and time.
For five hundred years, the kingdom of Hanyang lived beneath a fixed sky. The court astronomers mapped the heavens with meticulous, stifling precision, tracking the silver paths of the moon and the steady, cold glow of the ancient constellations. To the rigid royalty of the Joseon court, the sky was a symbol of absolute, unchanging order. It dictated the rise of empires, the falling of crops, and the sacred bloodlines of the throne. Everything had its designated place. Everything followed a strict, unyielding law.
Until the night the neon comet arrived.
It was an impossible color—a searing, electric neon-blue that tore through the quiet indigos of the night sky like a jagged tear in canvas. It didn’t belong to this century. It didn’t belong to this reality. It carried the pulsing, vibrant energy of a futuristic century that hadn’t even been born yet.
And as its brilliant light washed over the tiled roofs of the forbidden palace, the threads of fate violently tangled around four fractured souls.
🛠️ The Transplanted Phoenix: Han Yeon-seo (22)
Inside the pristine, suffocating walls of the Royal Astronomical Bureau, Han Yeon-seo was an anomaly masquerading as a proper noblewoman.
Outwardly, she was the picture of Joseon propriety—the quiet, dutiful daughter of the Chief Royal Astronomer, draped in heavy pastel silk wraps with her eyes perpetually lowered to the dirt. But beneath those elegant layers, her mind was a roaring furnace of 21st-century science. She was a brilliant aerospace engineer from the year 2026, tragically ripped from her modern life and dropped into the past.
She didn’t play by the rules of this century. Her long sleeves didn’t hide sewing needles; they hid a custom utility belt loaded with alchemical flash powders, a modern-style lockpick set forged from corset stays, and a small brass compass that pointed to the nearest concentration of cosmic energy rather than north. Armed with a mind full of futuristic blueprints and a heart full of unexplainable past-life grief, she spent her nights building illegal modern telescopes from scrap brass, desperately trying to chain the moon to find a way back home.
She was sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and fiercely empathetic. She was a girl waiting for a spark to burn the old world down.
🌌 The Phantom Prince: Grand Prince Mu-jin (24)
In the dark, overgrown bamboo forest of the forbidden Lotus Shadow Villa lived a royal ghost.
Grand Prince Mu-jin, the younger brother of the King, was a whisper-shrouded myth. Known to the superstitious court as the “Ghost Prince,” he was believed to be a cursed omen born under a bleeding moon. He possessed sharp, breathtakingly aristocratic features, a cold, unreadable expression, and dark eyes that held the terrifying depth of the night sky itself.
But his monstrous reputation wasn’t a myth. Mu-jin carried a devastating cosmic curse: at the exact stroke of midnight, his physical body would violently fracture, dissolving into a translucent cloud of invisible stardust. For ten long years, he had walked through the palace as a phantom—untouchable, unseen, and entirely, brutally alone. He carried deep, unspoken trauma from the royal betrayals that had stolen his youth, living a double life as a silent protector of the realm, utilizing a sword forged of pure solidified starlight and a terrifying command over physical shadows.
He was a broken constellation waiting for an anchor.
🦊 The Sovereign Shield & The Strategic Maid: Yoon & Chae-won
Every brooding prince required a shield, and Mu-jin’s shield was entirely built of iron and deadpan irony. Guard Captain Yoon (26) was the tallest, most lethal warrior in the palace guard. He stood with a flawless, imposing posture, his hand never leaving the hilt of his massive broadsword. He treated romantic advances like a high-security containment threat and spoke purely in clinical, military perimeters. Yet, beneath his glacial exterior was a man fiercely loyal to his prince—and entirely terrified of a certain maid.
That maid was Chae-won (19), Yeon-seo’s fiercely loyal, modern-minded strategist. Chae-won was a whirlwind of chaotic energy, bouncing hair buns, and romantic schemes. Armed with “modern flirting techniques” she accidentally overheard from Yeon-seo’s modern diaries, she treated the palace as her personal matchmaking canvas. She was loud, stubborn, and completely unbothered by Captain Yoon’s terrifying reputation, routinely threatening his elite guards with a giant wooden rolling pin if they dared to disrupt her lady’s workspace.
Draped in sweeping, blood-red silk robes that seemed to actively absorb the ambient light, Lord Chancellor Minister Hwang was a man built of sharp angles and hidden daggers. To the court, he was a brilliant, power-hungry politician who held the frail King in his palm.
But behind closed doors, his historical facade stripped away completely. Hwang was a rogue scientist from the year 2026—a brilliant, fanatical defector from the apocalyptic Chronos Project. He treated the historical era like a giant laboratory chessboard, using dark cosmic sorcery and futuristic synthetic compounds to hunt down the meteor fragment hidden beneath the palace vaults. He didn’t want to rule Joseon; he wanted to harvest the cosmic souls of Yeon-seo and Mu-jin to power his incomplete time machine and rewrite the history of the entire planet.
The variables were set. The timeline was unstable.
When Yeon-seo’s brass telescope locks onto Mu-jin’s silhouette on a forbidden roof, a reality-shattering anomaly will detonate. Within three paces of her, the Ghost Prince stays solid. With every physical touch, a jolt of pure electricity will flash a memory of a 2026 Seoul skyscraper skyline that both of them remember from a past life.
The countdown to the midnight collision has officially begun.
