Her father's 3rd and 4th wife were initially her maternal aunts.³ The princess later married her first cousin (her uncle's son), Wang Yeong (왕영) who became the Duke Nakrang upon their marriage.⁴ Together, they had 2 sons: Wang Jeong (왕정; 王禎) who would marry King Sukjong's 2nd daughter, Princess Heungsu, and Wang Ji (왕지; 王禔) who held an official position during King Yejong's reign.⁵⁶
