Ninglan

Ninglan is the femslash ship between Ningguang and Yelan from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Ningguang and Yelan have known each other for quite a long time, even before Ningguang became a Qixing and Yelan obtained her Hydro Vison. Nevertheless, the two are yet to be seen interacting in-game.

In Yelan's Vision Story, it is mentioned that Ningguang personally witnesses Yelan becoming a Vision holder. After the event, Yelan promises the Tianquan that she can put her trust in her. It is implied that Yelan takes care of Ningguang's "unsavoury" affairs, helping her look after the population of Liyue from the shadows.

Voicelines
When asked about Yelan, Ningguang muses about her intelligence and resourcefulness, and considers her to be someone she can trust with no reservations.

In Yelan's voiceline About Ningguang: Relationship, she implies that she's the reason behind Ningguang's incredibly fast rise to the top, and confirms that her current job was suggested to her by the Tianquan.

Fanon
Ningguang often is depicted with sun imagery, from the golden colours of her design to her role as a shining guide of Liyue. On the other hand, Yelan's constellation is the Night Orchid, and she is often associated with moon imagery, darkness, and shadows. The stark contrast between the two has always been a strong reason why the shippers are so drawn to the two. Despite their differences in visual designs, the two see eye-to-eye most of the time, and are said to work exeptionally well together.

Nevertheless, it is considered a rarepair in the fandom, especially because of Beiguang's popularity. Generally speaking, the two are more often depicted as friends, exes, or co-workers, rather than lovers.

Currently, it has only 30+ works on AO3.
