Guiping

Guiping is the femslash ship between Guizhong and Madame Ping from the Genshin Impact fandom

Canon
Guizhong and Madame Ping are both from Liyue. Along with this, they're both also NPCS as of now. They have, however, never interacted in-game. Although in the event "The Exquisite Night Chimes", in a cutscene, we learn that they are close friends.

Guizhong and Madame Ping endlessly argue, until Rex Lapis finally puts a stop to their arguing. After Guizhong and Madame Ping stopped arguing, they finally got along, going on many adventures together. Once Guizhong died, Madame Ping made a few finishing changes to her ballistic device, doing this to honor her memories with Guizhong. Madame Ping believes that the Guili Plans is everything, most likely because it represents Guizhong.

Trivia

 * Guizhong and Madame Ping's story is likely based on the story of Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi. These two were best friends, and Zhong Ziqi often remarked on Bo Ya's playing, describing it as flowing water and tall mountains. The two promised to each other that they would get together every year. However, Zhong Ziqi died of an illness a few months before Bo Ya came to meet him again, and t was even said that Zhong Ziqi's last wish was to hear Bo Ya play. Once Bo Ya returned to the village, he was informed of Zhong Ziqi had already died. In a fit of rage, he smashed his instrument and vowed to never play again, as the one who understood the music had already died.
