It seems that she was born around the 12nd century based on the fact that in 1199 she formally became a Princess (공주, 公主) which her older sister, Princess Hyohoe was died at 17 years old.[3] Later, in 1201, she married Wang-Jeong (왕정) and was given royal title Count Siheung (시흥백),[4] later become Duke Hoean (회안공).[5] With him, she had 3 sons[6] and their second son later married Princess Suheung who was her grandniece. Wang Jeong was the descendant of Wang-Gi, Duke Pyeongyang (왕기 평양공), King Hyeonjong's son. The Princess seems like died around the 13rd century and her husband died in 1234.
