Empress Li (李皇后, personal name unknown) was an empress of the Chinese/Di state Cheng Han. Her husband was Li Shi, the last emperor of Cheng Han. She was his wife when he was crown prince under his father Li Shou, and when he succeeded his father in 343, he created her empress. Nothing further is known about her, including whether she survived to or survived Cheng Han's destruction by Jin Dynasty (265-420) forces in 347. If she did, since her husband was created the Marquess of Guiyi, she would have carried the title of marchioness.

Famous quotes containing the word empress:
“We never really are the adults we pretend to be. We wear the mask and perhaps the clothes and posture of grown-ups, but inside our skin we are never as wise or as sure or as strong as we want to convince ourselves and others we are. We may fool all the rest of the people all of the time, but we never fool our parents. They can see behind the mask of adulthood. To her mommy and daddy, the empress never has on any clothes—and knows it.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
