Lady Zhen (183–221), formally known as Empress Wenzhao (文昭皇后; "Cultured and Diligent Empress"), was the first wife of Cao Pi, the first ruler of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. Her personal name is unknown. She was posthumously honored as an empress because her son Cao Rui later became emperor. Some historians refer to her as Zhen Luo (甄洛) or Zhen Fu (甄宓); many sources refer to her as Zhen Ji (甄姬), but this is a title rather than a name.

Famous quotes containing the word lady:
“I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
He turned up his eyes
I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
Holy & meek she cries—
As soon as I went
An angel came.
He wink’d at the thief
And smild at the dame—
And without one word said
Had a peach from the tree
And still as a maid
Enjoy’d the lady.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
