🌟 MAIN CHARACTER
Name:
Cami (English) / Jo Yeon (조연)
🌸 CHARACTER PROFILE: Cami (조연 / Jo Yeon)
Full Name: Shin Jo Yeon (신조연)
English Name: Cami Lǐ
Age: 17
Ethnicity: Chinese-Korean
Current Status: Dropout from one of Korea's top performing arts high schools
Hidden Identity: Rich heiress—daughter of an international conglomerate.
Backstory: Once enrolled in one of Korea's most competitive arts high schools, dropped out mid-sophomore year. She has the voice of a star, but stirs clear of the industry. Her trauma with the idol system (a sibling scandal) haunts her dreams.
BACKSTORY
🌧 Born into Beauty and Fragility
Cami and her two siblings—identical triplets ; two sisters and one brother—were born to a dazzlingly beautiful Korean mother and a powerful Chinese business tycoon father.
From the outside: the family was perfection.
But tragedy struck early.
The Triplets' Final Ride
At age 15, Cami's triplet siblings—a boy and two girls—were heading to a youth music competition.
Cami, sick with fever, stayed home.
The others never made it.
A truck driver, asleep at the wheel, slammed into their van.
Three seats. Three losses.
She wasn't in the van, but the crash hit her harder than steel ever could.
Their voices—blended with hers in lullabies, teasing harmonies, late-night vocalizing—vanished. Her mother took it hard, due to congenital heart disease and a severe heart attack, she was not able to survive the loss. The hollow became permanent. Her mother had been the family's light, and in her absence, the house dimmed—quiet luxury turned into a mausoleum.
Cami never sang again.
Not publicly. Not for anyone.
The Business of Absence
Their father—a hard, brilliant man already distant—cracked after the crash.
He threw himself into the family empire's overseas holdings, making himself a myth in his own daughter's life.
Calls were rare. Appearances, rarer.
Even grief was delegated.
And so, Cami was left to the care of his half-sister—her aunt, a woman with perfect posture and poisoned words.

The Aunt: Lady of the Gilded Cage
She resented the attention and inheritance poured into the "half-breed princess" children.
So when tragedy struck, she took the opportunity to raise Cami her way.
Forbade crying ("You're a Lǐ. Act like it.")
She rarely speaks unless necessary.
To her father, Cami is "well-kept."
But inside? She is all bruised , worked out hands and shuttered doors.
Still enrolled "on paper" at her performing arts school, but hasn't attended in months. Her aunt claims she's "doing internships."
PERSONALITY SNAPSHOT
Strengths: Brilliant vocalist, emotionally intelligent, composed under pressure, speaks Korean, Mandarin, English fluently
Flaws: Detached, deeply mistrustful of adults, has panic attacks in rehearsal rooms or backstage areas
Habits: Sleeps with earbuds in (to avoid silence), wears a locket with her triplets' names, reads lyrics instead of poetry
Secret: Records her singing in hidden voice memos. No one knows.
A hidden file on her laptop: over 200 self-written songs, demos, harmonies sung with her late siblings' old recordings.
Her voice is still alive. But her dream? Buried.
Until Romeo hears her sing in secret.
Until something stirs.
Current: Hiding from the stage… until she meets 'him'.

🎤 MALE LEAD
Stage Name: Romeo
Korean Name: Eom Sera (엄 세라)
🧠 Romeo is his mask but no one knows his truth.
He's a sophomore idol with a clean image—but his world is cracked beneath the surface.
Born into a conglomerate family, Romeo debuted too young and too fast as a means of escape from home and it's dramas. He's praised for his emotional stage presence, but in private, he feels nothing.
His voice moves people, but.. he's hollowing out… until he hears Cami singing .

Soft-spoken, the lyricist of the bunch.
Part of the debuting group with Romeo. Looks like a side character, but moves like a main one.

Part-time music producer, rapper aura, self-taught genius. Late-night studio vibes.

🧭 PREMISE (Loose Sketch)
> "Everyone wants to be on stage—until they see what it costs."
After dropping out of a prestigious performing arts school, Cami swore off singing. But when she gets pulled into the orbit of Romeo—K-pop's golden boy—her voice becomes the spark he needs to feel again.
In a high school where idols train by day and break by night, secrets shimmer beneath the spotlight. Old wounds reopen. Rivalries ignite. Dreams blur into nightmares.
And Cami? She may not be an idol, but the world won't let her be a ghost.
