Li is both beautiful and cultured. Originally the concubine of Yuan Shanjian, the quiet emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, she was made a concubine and was favored, because Yuan Shanjian's queen Gao was Gao Cheng's sister, which caused dissatisfaction. Yuan didn't want to be Gao Cheng's puppet, so he dug a tunnel to murder Gao Cheng. After the incident, Gao Cheng went to court and cursed Yuan, saying, "This will definitely affect the behavior of the concubine, right?" Trying to kill lee. Yuan Shan defended himself with a straight face: "I'm not even afraid of my body, let alone a concubine?" Gao Cheng got out of bed and kowtowed, crying and apologizing, and the two broke up happily. Lee was released.

In the eighth year of Wuding in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (550), Yuan was forced to retreat (Gao Cheng was dead) and bid farewell to his concubines. Li recited Cao Zhi's farewell poem, which said: "Love the county, everyone enjoys the yellow hair period." The queen cried. So Gao Yang gave her to his younger brother Gao Zhan as a concubine. In the seventh year of Natural Forest Protection (556), Li Sheng was the eldest son. In the first year of Taining (56 1), he acceded to the throne, and Li was made Mrs. Hongde and Gao Chuo was the king of Wan. In 568, Li died and was honored as Princess Nanyang.

Although it is a great honor, it is still difficult to protect itself in the cruel political struggle. Li's sister, the princess of Hao, the king of Nan 'an, was burned to death because of her husband's rebellion. Li was severely stimulated and finally died of insanity. Gao Chuo was soon killed by his brother Gao Wei.
