It is not known when Liang Nüying was born,[2] but what is known is that in her young age she was accustomed to an honored position as a daughter of the Grand Marshal Liang Shang (梁商) and a younger sister of Empress Liang Na, Emperor Shun's wife, and later regent to his son Emperor Chong, and two successors from collateral lines, Emperors Zhi and Huan.
Traditional history indicates that because of her honored position as the empress dowager's sister, initially, Emperor Huan did not dare to have any other favorite consorts.
After her sister died in April 150, she began to lose Emperor Huan's favor, but she continued to be greatly jealous.
With Liang Ji effectively in control of government, Emperor Huan did not dare to respond, but he would rarely have sexual relations with her.
[5] Later that year, Emperor Huan, in conjunction with eunuchs, overthrew Liang Ji in a coup d'etat.
