It seems that she was born after 1109 not long after her older sister, Princess Seungdeok. She was the paternal aunt of the three rulers: Uijong, Myeongjong and Sinjong. Her maternal grandfather was Yi Cha-gyŏm from the powerful Gyeongwon Yi clan.

She was firstly called 'Princess–"gungju" ({{Korean|hangul=흥경궁주|hanja=興慶宮主|labels=no}}) but later on 9 October 1124 changed into Princess–"gongju" ({{Korean|hangul=흥경공주|hanja=興慶公主|labels=no}}).{{Cite web|url=http://db.history.go.kr/KOREA/search/searchResult.do?sort=levelId&dir=ASC&start=-1&limit=20&page=1&pre_page=1&itemIds=&indexSearch=N&codeIds=PERIOD-0-3&synonym=off&chinessChar=on&searchTermImages=%ED%9D%A5%EA%B2%BD%EA%B3%B5%EC%A3%BC&searchKeywordType=BI&searchKeywordMethod=EQ&searchKeyword=%ED%9D%A5%EA%B2%BD%EA%B3%B5%EC%A3%BC&searchKeywordConjunction=AND#searchDetail/kr/kr_015r_0040_0110_0020/14/0/14/r|script-title=ko:고려시대 史料 Database|website=Goryeosa|access-date=October 5, 2021|language=ko}} Then, she married Wang Kyŏng, Duke Anpyeong ({{Korean|hangul=왕경 안평공|labels=no}}) and died in 1176 (6th year reign of King Myeongjong).{{Cite web|url=http://db.history.go.kr/KOREA/search/searchResult.do?sort=levelId&dir=ASC&start=-1&limit=20&page=1&pre_page=1&itemIds=&indexSearch=N&codeIds=PERIOD-0-3&synonym=off&chinessChar=on&searchTermImages=%ED%9D%A5%EA%B2%BD%EA%B3%B5%EC%A3%BC&searchKeywordType=BI&searchKeywordMethod=EQ&searchKeyword=%ED%9D%A5%EA%B2%BD%EA%B3%B5%EC%A3%BC&searchKeywordConjunction=AND#searchDetail/kr/kr_091r_0020_0120_0030/14/8/14/r|script-title=ko:고려시대 史料 Database|website=Goryeosa|access-date=October 5, 2021|language=ko}}
