She was the wife of Cao Cao, a warlord who rose to power in the late Eastern Han dynasty and laid the foundation of Wei. She bore Cao Cao's successor, Cao Pi, who ended the Han dynasty and founded Wei in 220 after his father's death.

^According to the Book of Wei by Wang Chen et al., Lady Bian was born on the jisi day of the 12th month of the 3rd year of the Yan'xi era of the reign of Emperor Huan of Han. ((后以汉延熹三年十二月己巳生...) Wei Shu annotation in Sanguozhi, vol.05.) However, this is likely to be an error as there is no jisi day in the 12th month of that year. There is a yisi (乙巳) day in that month, and the date corresponds to 29 Jan 161 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar.
