As Lady Han was born in the same year as Ansun, she was chosen as a concubine of Crown Prince Yi Hwang in 1463 and received the title of So-hun (junior 5th rank);[4] thereafter she was known as Royal Consort So-hun of the Cheongju Han clan and lived temporarily within the residence of Dong Palace.
Since she was nearly due to give birth at that time, guards were sent to her maternal home to guide the future Queen.
Her time as Queen Consort was short, as her husband died only 13 months after his ascension and, to make the situation worse, her son, Grand Prince Jean, was deemed too young to be invested as the new King.
[6] Conflicts happened when the King's deceased father, Crown Prince Uigyeong, was posthumously declared as King, which made his widow, Crown Princess Consort Su (Seongjong's mother), a Queen Dowager (with the honorary name Insu).
Because there was a need to determine the seniority between Inhye and Insu, Grand Queen Dowager Jaseong, as the eldest member of the Royal Family, solved the problem by declaring that Insu was entrusted with the task of protecting Yejong by the late Sejo of Joseon, implying her seniority above both King Yejong and Queen Dowager Inhye.
