editOn 17 April 1390, she was honoured as Princess Jeongsin (정신궁주; 貞信宮主) along with her sisters,[3] then married with Woo Seong-beom (우성범) whom later honoured as Prince Danyang (단양군).[4][5] However, in July 1392, after Yi Seong-Gye's ascension to the throne and made the new dynasty, Woo was sentenced to death and was beheaded along with Gang Hoe-gye (강회계), her younger brother-in-law.

With Woo, she had one issue, a daughter.[7] While the Princess's father-in-law tried to conspired, it was failed and died after being executed by Taejo's royal troops in 23 August.
