She entered the palace as the crown princess consort (태자비; 太子妃) to the Sunjong who was then still a crown prince and became his favourite since they were close to each other and had a good relationship. However, for some reason, she was hated badly by her father-in-law and eventually expelled from the palace by the King's order before her husband ascended the throne.[3] Since she lived in "Yeonbok Palace" (연복궁; 延福宮), she was then given a royal title of Princess Yeonbok (연복궁주; 延福宮主) in 1126.[4] On 17 March 1126, she died after about 43 years outlived than her late husband and received her posthumous name, also buried in Seongneung tomb (성릉; 成陵) along with him in 1130 under King Injong's command.
