In 1389, following her husband ascended the throne as King Gongyang by the Yi Seong-gye's powerful clan, she also officially become the Queen consort in 1389. The new king then established the "Department of Justice" (의덕부) and placed a bureaucracy for his wife's family, the No clan (노씨). They later had a son and three daughters. Around 1392, along with her husband, they were dethroned and exiled to Wonju, Goseong, and Samcheok.

In 1394, after receiving an apology from Yi, they were judged together by the new court. There was a theory said that the two committed suicide by jumping into the water. They then buried in the same tomb at Wondang, Gyeonggi Province and Samcheok, Gangwon Province.
