She was the first wife of Emperor Jing, and also the first empress to be deposed in Chinese imperial history.
Empress Bo was from the family of Empress Dowager Bo, who was probably her paternal grandaunt and betrothed her to her grandson, then-Crown Prince Qi during the reign of her son, Emperor Wen.
It was as a consequence of this that Consort Li's son Liu Rong was made crown prince.

Even though she had ties to a person as powerful and influential as Grand Empress Dowager Bo, she never enjoyed a life of much esteem simply because she could not bear a son.
