Hu Tao

Hu Tao is the 77th director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. She has a talent as a poet and treats the parlor's operations with utmost importance and holds funeral ceremonies with the highest dignity and solemnity. At first glance, Hu Tao appears to be a quirky and cheerful girl. She enjoys pranking people and despises sitting around and doing nothing. She wishes to live her life to the fullest. Her eccentric and off-the-wall personality often leaves people with a negative impression of her, especially Qiqi, who states that she has a "punchable face" and should be stored in the fridge. On the other hand, Xiao enjoys her sense of humor, finding it irritating but interesting. When handling funerals and last rites, Hu Tao becomes more solemn and constantly reminds her employees never to deviate from the client's requests. Due to the importance and traditions of the parlor's duties, she expresses a distaste towards people treating her or her employees with suspicion whenever they go to work at night. Despite her negative impressions, Hu Tao is knowedgeable about the adepti and Liyue's past, having suspected Zhongli to be an adeptus. However, she usually keeps this a secret from those who are unaware for their own safety. Hu Tao accepts death as a natural part of life and tells others to enjoy their short lives. However, she tends to be too excited about death for the means of increasing business.
