Early life[]

Lady Choe was born as the third daughter of Choe Yong and Lady Kim,[2] into the Haeju Choe clan (해주 최씨, 海州 崔氏). Her father was a great-grandson of Choe Chung (최충). She had eight brothers and four sisters.

Marriage and later life[]

In 1121, King Yejong decided to make Lady Choe his concubine[3] and she entered the palace not long after that.[4] 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")[5] 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).[6]
