Han Lifei (d. 1424)

Han Lifei (1390s–1424), was an Imperial concubine of Yongle Emperor.[1]

She became a member of the Imperial harem of Yongle Emperor. In 1421, she was implicated in the alleged plot which resulted in the mass execution in the emperor's harem, where many of the emperor's concubines, their maids and eunuchs were executed, accused of having participated in a murder plot against the emperor.

She managed to avoid being executed but was imprisoned. When the emperor died in 1424, she belonged to the 30 people executed in order to join the emperor by being buried with him.
