She was the daughter of Yi Ye (이예),[3] son of Yi Ja-sang (이자상) and younger brother of Yi Ja-yeon (이자연). It seems that she married Seonjong when he was still "Duke Gukwon" (국원공) and then became "Duchess Consort Gukwon" (국원공비; 國原公妃) while lived in his manor. Although she was the first wife, but she didn't lived long and bore him a daughter who later became Yejong of Goryeo's first wife.[4] In 1107, her son-in-law tried to orient himself at Seonjong's tomb, but was not accomplished due to the opposition from his officials.
