A Bad Example of a Perfect Curse Chapter 34 (And Why You’ll Want to Read Every Word)
Credits: Ridibooks
A Bad Example of a Perfect Curse thrives on an incredibly unique premise. Adrina, born as the living embodiment of a curse that killed her brother Adrian, lives her life disguised as him. Serving as a knight in the palace, she crosses paths with Duke Yules, the king’s nephew, who has spent half his life trapped in the body of a child due to his own curse.
The twist? The only way to break his curse is through physical contact with Adrina. A kiss acts as the catalyst to temporarily break his curse, transforming him back into an adult man. The recent chapters have been focusing on the heavily charged, secret relationship between the two as they use this “loophole” while navigating palace politics and Adrina’s hidden identity.
What makes this moment so powerful? By the 30s chapters, the “temporary fixes” are becoming much more complicated. Yules is fully aware that Adrina is the key to his freedom, but his feelings are rapidly evolving from purely transactional to genuinely possessive. At the same time, Adrina is struggling to keep her female identity a secret from the rest of the palace while constantly being summoned to the Duke’s private quarters for “treatment.”

Because A Bad Example of a Perfect Curse Chapter 34 is already out (alongside the original completed web novel), the exact plot details for this segment are confirmed:
The Secret “Treatment”
A Bad Example of a Perfect Curse Chapter 34 leans heavily into the irony of their situation. Yules summons “Adrian” to his quarters under the guise of official knightly duties, but immediately shifts gears once the doors are closed. The chapter features highly intense, close-quarters interactions as Yules forces Adrina to help him offset his curse.
Adrina’s Internal Conflict
Adrina is trapped. She cannot refuse the Duke’s orders, but the physical intimacy required to keep him in his adult form is blurring her boundaries. The novel readers note that this is the point where Adrina realizes Yules isn’t just using her as a tool; he is purposely creating situations to corner her.
The Threat of Discovery
While they are distracted by the “treatment,” the political tension outside the bedroom is rising. People in the palace are beginning to notice how much time the Duke spends alone with this specific young knight, leading to dangerous rumors. Adrina’s greatest fear—that someone will discover she is not her dead brother—is becoming a very real threat.
Reader theory to watch for: The community is waiting for the exact moment the rest of the palace realizes “Adrian” is actually a woman. Many believe Yules will use this discovery not to expose her, but to completely isolate and protect her from the political fallout.

Is Yules permanently cured?
In the current arc, the curse is only temporarily lifted through physical contact with Adrina. The long-term goal of the series is finding a permanent solution to both of their curses so they can live freely.
