Life is Easier If You're Handsome novel Chapter 112

"Ugh, this cold... feels like my toes are going to freeze off."

As soon as Joo Seonghwan, playing the role of Beomho, delivered the opening line of the shoot:

"It’s time to begin."

"I will restore justice to this land!"

The actors dove into their roles, as if they had been waiting for this moment.

In the biting cold of winter,

the commoners band together, armed and determined.

They rise as rebels, resolved to uproot the corruption of this land.

Having been exploited day after day just to scrape by,

their oppressors grew fat and complacent from the spoils of their suffering.

How could they not be enraged?

Step, step.

To gather more strength and sow greater chaos from the bottom up,

the angry mob marched south toward Jeonnam.

Unable to take the main roads,

they moved along narrow mountain paths.

As they trudged forward on the only available trail:

"...A swarm of maggots reeking of decay."

A boy appeared from the opposite direction, his words making them halt.

Keiiing.

The camera widened its frame to capture the scene.

Over a hundred furious commoners stood clutching their tools-turned-weapons,

while the boy, dressed in simple attire, spoke calmly.

He wore a stark white dopo (a traditional Korean overcoat), evocative of the icy winter.

He carried a sharp sword and even had a bow slung across his back, as if he had been out hunting.

Though his attire wasn’t suited for hunting,

the weapons alone suggested his purpose.

"...I have no intention of harming children. Stand aside."

Beomho, the leader of the group, wasn’t particularly concerned about the boy’s armament.

He had far too many pressing matters ahead to waste time.

"The insolence of the lower class is unpleasant.

I see your youth blinds you to reason."

Beomho drew his blade for intimidation.

Though it was originally the knife of a butcher used for slaughtering livestock—

Shwing.

—it had now become the weapon of a rebel, poised to pierce the heavens.

"I’ll say it again: stand aside."

The path was narrow, the only flat section on a steep incline.
