Yi was given the title of Princess (현주; 縣主) and married Gwon Deok-yeong (권덕영; 權德榮), a lesser official, and went to live in Gwangju, her husband's hometown.
[4] Heo Gye (허계), the head department of the Saheonbu, requested that the situation be investigated without resorting to interrogation.

Yi was deleted from the royal family lineage (Sunwonrok) and her name remained taboo until the end of the Joseon Dynasty.
Eoudong, Yu Gam-dong, Hwang Jin-yi, and Princess Consort Daebang (the aunt of Queen Jeongsun) are said to be examples of obscene women who did not stay faithful to a deceased husband during the Joseon Dynasty.
