She was the daughter of Han-Jo (한조).[2] Like her older sister, her marriage with Jeongjong just a noble and royal family, didn't have a blood-relationship. At first, she was a Palace Maid (궁인; 宮人), but later honoured as Princess Hyeondeok (현덕궁주; 玄德宮主) and lived in Mallyeong Palace (만령궁; 萬齡宮).[3]
Two years after her older sister died, on 1 April 1038, Jeongjong gave her a royal title as Beautiful Consort Han (여비 한씨; 麗妃 韓氏)[4] and Princess Changseong (창성궁주; 昌盛宮主).[5] Later, in February 1040 (6th year reign of Jeongjong), she formally became Queen Consort of Goryeo and bore him 3 sons,[6] but all of her son weren't ascended the throne.
