Cheng I Sao, born in 1785, was a former prostitute-turned pirate during the Qing Dynasty in China. In 1807, following her husband Zheng Yi's death, she took over running his pirating operations, wreaking havoc in the villages along China's coast. In 1810, she was granted amnesty and went on to marry her adoptive son, Cheung Po Tsai.
