YanTao is the femslash ship between Yanfei and Hu Tao from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
The two don't have any present interactions in the story. However it seems like they acknowledge each others presence. In Yanfei's voice line she mentions how she hears the people of Liyue talk about Hu Tao. They call Hu Tao's way of business unusual. As well Yanfei mentions how the people also see Hu Tao and how she went non-sane as Hu Tao has taken control of the funeral business when she was young, after the passing of her grandfather. Yanfei also feels like the people of Liyue don't understand what they're thinking/talking.

She continues saying how important Hu Tao is when it comes to Wangsheng Funeral. As well how important the service is. Yanfei mentions how when it comes necessary business like the one Hu Tao owns is one way to succeed when it comes to difficult projects. Yanfei says the work is work and jobs like Hu Tao has isn't unlucky or bad, but just work that need people. At the end she mentions how upset that Hu Tao rarely comes to Yanfei for legal advice.

Both of their birthdays are on the month of July. As well the two are both pyro characters, with Hu Tao being a polearm user, and Yanfei being a catalyst user. It's unknown if Hu Tao is aware that Yanfei is half mortal and half adeptus, as it seems like Hu Tao is aware about the adeptus's presence in Liyue as mentioned by her voice line. The two share some similarities with their design, with both having bangs and a hat.

Quotes
"I always hear people saying that the director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has an unorthodox approach to business. They think she's gone a little non compos mentis after being in the funeral business so long... What are these people talking about? The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor provides a legitimate and necessary service, which is the cornerstone of any successful enterprise. Work is just work — there are no good and bad jobs, or lucky and unlucky jobs, just jobs that need doing. If I had one gripe, it would be that the director rarely comes to me for legal advice, hmph..."
