She firstly married the 10-years-old Hyejong when he was still a Prince in 921.[4] When he become the Crown Prince (왕태자, 王太子) in December 922 by recommendation of Bak Sul-hui (박술희), she then honoured as Princess Consort to the Crown Prince (태자비, 太子妃),[5][6] also became the first Crown Princess consort of Goryeo. It was believed that Jincheon Im clan's regional position and her father position as a powerful military were taken into account in the reason that Taejo of Goryeo chose her as the spouse to his eldest son. Then, in 943, followed her husband ascend the throne, she became the Queen Consort.[1] Although her death date was not recorded, but it was known that her tomb was located on Sulleung, along with her husband's tomb.[7]
