In 501 BC, Duke Ai, Duke Hui's grandfather, died after a reign of 36 years. Duke Hui's father predeceased Duke Ai and was given the posthumous name Duke Yi (秦夷公). Therefore, Duke Hui succeeded his grandfather as the ruler of Qin.[1][2]
Duke Hui reigned for nine years and died in 492 BC. He was succeeded by his son Duke Dao.[2]
