Her husband died when she was still young and she never remarried. She belonged to the family who controlled the cinnabar mines in Changshou, which she managed herself as a widow. She is recorded in historical accounts for her good business relationship to Emperor Qin Shi Huang, over whom she wielded a great deal of influence because of their business transactions and her substantial economic power. The emperor constructed a memorial tower (女懷清臺) in her honour. She has been the subject of a TV-series in China.
