Why A Bad Example of a Perfect Curse Chapter 35 Matters
The manhwa is highly praised for its unique take on the “crossdressing knight” and “cursed Duke” tropes. Instead of a straightforward romance, it’s heavily built on forced proximity, secrets, and a deeply emotional bond between two outcasts. The most recent chapters have focused heavily on the physical and emotional toll of the curse-breaking process, blurring the line between a transactional cure and genuine affection.
What makes Chapter 35 so powerful? According to spoilers from the completed original novel, this section of the story shifts the dynamic from a guarded professional relationship to something much more intimate and dangerous. Julius is becoming increasingly possessive, using the curse as an excuse to keep Adrina close.
A Bad Example of a Perfect Curse Chapter 35 Spoilers (Based on the Novel)
Because the manhwa is directly adapting Seo Ji-hyun’s completed web novel, we know the trajectory of the upcoming chapters.
The “Cure”
The core tension involves the method of breaking Julius’s curse: physical contact, specifically kissing. Spoilers indicate that Chapter 35 will heavily feature Julius orchestrating situations to maintain this contact. In the novel, this is the turning point where Julius explicitly acknowledges his own manipulative tendencies, deciding he doesn’t care if the arrangement is forced, as long as she stays by his side.
Adrina’s Secret
While Julius knows she is the “cure,” Adrina’s primary secret—that she is a woman posing as her dead brother—is constantly at risk of being exposed due to their close proximity. Readers anticipate a close call in Chapter 35, where Julius notices details (like her physical frame or eyelashes) that almost give away her true identity.
