Her father, Hong-Gyu's first name was Geung-Jun (긍준), a nobles from Seongju. In March 927, Wang Geon attacked and occupied Unju Castle (운주성), which after this, Hong-Gyu gave his daughter to Wang and become his 12th wife.[3] In addition, Unju was an important place since Chinese envoys always enter and depart to Goryeo from here. She later bore Taejo 1 son[4] and a daughter, Princess Wang (공주 왕씨) who later married Wang Tae,[5] Taejo and Queen Sinmyeong's oldest son.[6] However, considering Wang Tae's younger brother, Wang Yo and Wang So succeeded the throne in the future, it seems that Wang Tae died at the young age.
