Wikidata gives her Chinese label as Li Chunxiang and records her as the concubine of Huang Kui, so the title stays this name.[^wikidata] ## Who she is The Chinese Wikipedia article says she is the concubine of the attendant gentleman Huang Kui and is secretly involved with Miao Ze, the younger brother of Huang Kui's wife.[^zhwiki] ## The events of chapter 57 In the novel, Huang Kui has agreed with Ma Teng to kill Cao Cao. He comes home still angry, and when his wife presses him he will not say why. Miao Ze wants Li Chunxiang for himself and has no way to get her. Seeing Huang Kui's anger, Li Chunxiang asks Miao Ze about it, and he tells her to provoke Huang Kui by asking why everyone calls Liu Bei humane and Cao Cao treacherous. That night Huang Kui comes to her room and, drunk, says that what he hates is that he wants to kill Cao Cao and has arranged with General Ma to do it the next day when troops are mustered outside the city. Li Chunxiang tells Miao Ze, and Miao Ze reports it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao makes his dispositions, seizes Huang Kui's whole household, and the next day ambushes Ma Teng outside the city and captures him and his sons. Huang Kui, Ma Teng and Ma Xiu are put to death.[^zhwiki] ## Her end Miao Ze tells Cao Cao he wants no reward and asks only for Li Chunxiang as his wife. Cao Cao laughs and says that for the sake of one woman he has destroyed his brother-in-law's whole family, and asks what use such a man is. He has Miao Ze and Li Chunxiang beheaded in the market together with Huang Kui's household, and the onlookers sigh. The Chinese Wikipedia article sums this up by saying that Cao Cao saw how base Miao Ze was and had him and Li Chunxiang executed together.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Identity: fictional character of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, concubine of Huang Kui[^wikidata] - Realm of the setting: Han[^wikidata] - Appears in: [[work_cn_q70806|Romance of the Three Kingdoms]][^zhwiki] /people/li-chunxiang.html en zh en Character in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms true literary character relation_cnworks_depicts_q70806_q11096850 work_cn_q70806 depicts person_cn_q11096850 work_cn_q70806 wikidata Related works work_cn_q70806 The Romance of the Three Kingdoms /en/works/romance-three-kingdoms.html true depicts Related works relation_cnworks_depicts_q70806_q11096850 work_cn_q70806 depicts person_cn_q11096850 work_cn_q70806 wikidata Related works work_cn_q70806 The Romance of the Three Kingdoms /en/works/romance-three-kingdoms.html true en zh en is_fictional Fictional yes person_category Person category literary character disambiguation Disambiguation Character in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms 1 50 1 1 1
