Her paternal aunt, Princess Consort Daebang, was the second wife of Grand Prince Yeongeung who was the 8th son of Queen Soheon and King Sejong.
On 19 February 1454 (January 22; lunar calendar), she married Yi Hong-wi (temple name: Danjong), the 6th Joseon monarch who was one year younger, when she was fifteen.
As Kim Chongsŏ and his faction used the chance to extend the power of court officials against many royal family members, the tension between Kim and Grand Prince Suyang (King Sejong's son and King Danjong's uncle) greatly increased; not only Suyang himself, but his younger brother, Grand Prince Anpyeong, also sought an opportunity to take control of the kingdom.
As wife of the King Emeritus, the Queen received the title 'queen dowager' (wangdaebi; 왕대비) with honorary name Uideok.
When returning back, her parents' home was already destroyed, so she lived in Choam (초암) near Cheongnyongsa Temple in Sungin-dong outside Dongdaemun and stayed with the ladies-in-waiting.
It was said that the women and palace maids in her neighborhood pitied her and, without getting permission from the government, made an arrangement for Lady Song to use the rations and supplies given to them to her secretly.
Yeongdo-gyo (영도교; 永渡橋) in Cheonggyecheon is said to be the last place where Prince Nosan and his wife, who were going back home, meet and separated.
During King Yeongjo’s reign, he personally wrote the name ‘Dongmangbong’ (동망봉; 東望峰) and had it engraved on a rock on the site.
According to Kim Taek-yeong (김택영, 金澤榮; 1850–1927), a writer and historian of the Joseon Dynasty, he said in his Yasa, that Shin Suk-ju had asked and tried to make Lady Song his slave.
But because she couldn't do anything or much of the matter, Lady Song was sent to live in Jeongeobwon (정업원), a place nearby Changdeok Palace, so that no one could commit it.
In the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, there are records that Seongjong and Yeonsangun bestowed slaves, rice, and linens to the Song clan several times.
There was an attempt to honor the late king and Queen during Jungjong's reign by Jo Gwang-jo from the Sarim Faction and other court officials, but he rejected the proposal.
Her tomb was renamed to Sareung (思陵), and it was properly built in the sense of admiring (Samo; 사모, 思慕) a devoted wife whose husband was unjustly murdered.
