Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 308

There are people who absolutely hate spoilers.

No matter the time of day, they’ll sprint to the very first screening in the fastest theater available—

Just to experience the film before anyone else can ruin it.

And their dopamine hits its peak—

The moment they encounter a massive plot twist, completely unspoiled.

The kind that sends you hunting for an “unseen brain” and “unspoiled eyes” to replace your own. In Murcielago, that moment arrived without warning.

The roar of wind—loud enough to be heard like a deep whoooosh. And in the midst of it, the Joker stands on a building ledge, completely unfazed.

“Holy shit... Joker was Kim Donghu?”

“Wait a second... So that’s why they kept it such a secret?”

“Yeah... this one was worth hiding.”

“So what now? What does this even mean?”

“Is he playing both roles? Batman and Joker?”

“How does someone still look hot in full clown makeup?”

The Joker spreads a handful of playing cards from his coat with a grin.

Twenty-three cards.

Exactly the number of criminals who attacked the orphanage.

These were details no one watching live would notice.

Details that wouldn’t be pieced together until days after the credits rolled.

The camera lingers on the fluttering cards in the wind—

Then pans back to where the Joker stood...

But the rooftop is now completely empty.

The scene cuts back.

Batman, having resolved the incident, leaves the orphanage behind.

“Who’s gonna thank you for playing hero?”

Catwoman appears behind him, seemingly exhausted from handling her own part of the job.

“Does anyone thank thieves? I’m not here as a thief today anyway—I had business.”

“At the orphanage?”

“No. With you.”

Click.

She slips her hand between her cleavage and pulls out a small drug packet.

“Interested?”

“I already have one.”

“This one’s different. It’s exactly what those guys were high on.”

“What do you want?”

“That’s how you talk to women? Straight to the deal? That’s a bad look.”

Still holding the packet between her chest, Catwoman steps closer until their bodies nearly touch.

Stomach against stomach.

Breath brushing between them.

A mere 30 centimeters between their lips.

“You have to seduce the woman first if you want something from her.” “I’m not entertaining this game. Especially not after taking down a few criminals.”

Batman doesn’t push her away—

Instead, he simply reaches into her cleavage and pulls the drug packet out with zero hesitation.

No emotional charge. Just a clean, mechanical extraction.

Pluck.

“You’ll want money, right? I’ll pay you next time.”

“Wow. That’s it? Just like that?”

There’s no response.

An obvious sign that he has no time to waste.

“Wait, next time? Who says we’ll meet again?”

“If you keep following me like this, we will.”

Conversation—over.

At the same time, the film’s background music shifts—

Darker, more serious.

We’ve entered the middle act. And the story begins to shift rapidly.

The early sections focused on who Batman is.

What kind of life he lived. Why he became the Bat. How he upgraded his suit—his foundation.

Now, with the Joker’s entrance—

We shift to the narrative. The central conflict. The real story begins here.

“This is insane. Actually insane.”

So, is this where Batman vs. Joker kicks off?

And he’s playing both roles?

The audience was locked in—

Eyes wide, dopamine spiking through the roof.

How could it possibly get any better than this?

Their limbs tingled with anticipation.

***

A different location—far from where the orphanage raid occurred. Not a grimy warehouse, but a high-end-looking office.

There’s just one problem: Corpses. Several dead bodies, beaten to death, litter the floor.

Judging by their matching suits, they were probably the original office staff. Ironically, the suits complemented the office decor perfectly.

“Mmm... you really outdid yourselves! Really! Thanks to you, Batman now knows the chemical makeup of our drug!”

Unlike the corner stacked with bodies, the center table is surrounded by men in clown makeup.

“T-that’s—”

“Whoa whoa whoa, no talking.”

The Joker cuts off the frightened man.

With a look that says, “Speak any further and I’ll get bored,”

He licks his lips—eyes still smiling.

“Look... I know you’ve got some serious courage. It’s fine. It’s all good. Totally fine!”

And to show he really meant it, the Joker burst into unhinged laughter.

Madness.

Chaos.

That’s all he seemed to be made of. The criminals sitting around the table looked utterly lost.

And here’s the twist— These weren’t seasoned actors.

These were the fake Jokers. And this was their first time meeting the real Joker—Kim Donghu.

Their panic? 100% real.

That shock, that confusion—It was captured on film and made the scene feel even richer.
