Zhou Dynasty 唐朝
Here is a list of reign titles of Wu Zhe Tian, the only female Emperor in the history of China. Although her dynasty had only one emperor after her return of power to the Lee clan of the Tang dynasty, she has no lack of reign titles.
After she passed away, she was buried as the wife of Tang Gao Zong.
