She married a son of Shin Jeong (신정), named Shin Yo-gyeong (신요경), who was later honoured as Prince Consort Dongan (동안위; 東安尉).[1] However, the Princess was unable to celebrate and suddenly fell ill. She died on April 27, 1673. Her tomb was originally located near Heolleung (헌릉, 獻陵; the tomb of King Taejong and Queen Wongyeong), but was later moved to another place.

After her only brother, Crown Prince Yi Sun, ascended the throne, he ordered the building of shrines for Princess Myeonghye and Princess Myeongseon.
