Wang Shunhua
Wang Shunhua was an empress of the Chinese dynasty Southern Qi. Her husband was the final emperor of the dynasty, Emperor He.
Wang Shunhua's grandfather Wang Jian was an early Southern Qi prime minister, and her clan was one of the two most powerful ones among the honored clans of the Southern Dynasties. She became married to Xiao Baorong when he was the Prince of Sui Commandery, and she therefore carried the title of Princess of Sui. After he was made emperor by the generals Xiao Yingzhou and Xiao Yan in 501 as a competing candidate for the throne to his violent and arbitrary brother Xiao Baojuan, Princess Wang was created empress. After Xiao Yan seized the throne in 502, ending Southern Qi and starting Liang Dynasty, Xiao Baorong was created the Prince of Baling, but soon was killed by Xiao Yan. The former Empress Wang became known as the Princess of Baling. Nothing further is known about her, including when she died.
