In 1121, King Yejong decided to make Lady Choe his concubine[2] and she entered the palace not long after that.[3] She then given the royal title of Princess Jangsin (장신궁주; 長信宮主) and gave birth to a son, Wang Gak-gwan.

On 1129, she was honoured as Suk-bi (숙비; 淑妃; "Pure Consort")[4] by King Injong, her husband's only son by his second wife. In 1144 (22nd year reign of King Injong), Lady Suk-bi's father was granted the title Susagong (수사공).[5]
