Emperor Shun is apparently already ill in 144, when he creates his only son Liu Bing, born of his concubine Consort Yu in 143, crown prince.

Virtually nothing is known about his mother, other than that she entered the palace when she was twelve (the year is unknown), and that she was also the mother of Prince Bing's sister Princess Sheng.

Later in the year, Emperor Shun dies, and Crown Prince Bing succeeds him as Emperor Chong.

Empress Dowager Liang serves as regent, and while she personally appears capable, her trust in her brother Liang Ji will lead to a major decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
