the most unlikely couple

 

This is probably my favorite supporting couple in Sword and Fairy. While she is posing as her twin brother, the old wolf (Fu Xin Bo) suspects the curse. She will not live long unless he can solve it. He was a friend of her father's who died and feels the need to protect her even if he is a white wolf at night. 

The story has enough pull to make you feel for these characters who are searching for a solution. It has lots of adventures along the way and I feel I am learning more about Chinese fantasies.
