When her mother and father died when she was five years old, she was abducted by human traffickers, and sold more than a dozen times in a few years until she was sold to the Li family and became a maid for the Li family's daughter.

In 1901, Liang Qichao's first son Liang Sicheng was born, but the child was born in bad health, Li Huixian was a pampered young lady from childhood, and her health was not good since childhood, so she had her first child after six years of marriage. So in order to prosper with incense, Liang Qichao took Wang Guiquan as a concubine with the permission of Li Huixian, and in 1903 she became Liang Qichao's side room.

Wang Guiquan later gave birth to 6 children to Liang Qichao in a row, namely Liang Siyong (son), Liang Sizhong (son), Liang Siyi (female), Liang Sida (son), Liang Sining (female), and Liang Sili (son). When Li Huixian was alive, Liang Qichao never publicly mentioned Wang Guiquan, because this marriage violated his "monogamy", and he also let the children call Wang Guiquan "Aunt Wang", but all the children were brought up by Wang Guiquan. The children called Li Huixian "Ma" and privately called Wang Guiquan "Niang"

Liang Sicheng does not have deep feelings for his biological mother, but he respects and cares about Wang Guishuan very much. He used to say, "My mother is a very unusual woman. He later recalled an incident when he was a child: Once he did not do well in an exam, Li Huixian got angry and whipped him with a chicken feather duster tied with wire. Wang Guiquan saw Xiao Sicheng, who was trembling in fright, and in a hurry, she took Liang Sicheng into her arms and protected him with her body to beat him. At that time, Li Huixian was still angry, and he couldn't hold his hand, and the chicken feather duster was pumped on Wang Guiquan's body. Liang Sizhuang was infected with "diphtheria" when he was 10 years old, but Wang Guishuo's 9-year-old daughter also had it at the same time, afraid of cross-infection, Wang Guishuan took care of the two children alone, and took care of Liang Sizhuang most of the time, but her nine-year-old daughter unfortunately died, Wang Guishuo's love for children left a great touch in the hearts of Li Huixian's children

In 1929, Liang Qichao suffered from kidney disease, and on his deathbed he felt guilty for failing to give Wang Guishuan a name, and he was more worried about how to raise his nine children, 43-year-old Wang Guishuang cried and said "Don't worry, and I" must raise and educate the children well, in that era when Wang Guishuang insisted on sending nine children abroad, and three children became academicians of the Academia Sinica, that is, later "one family and three academicians"

At that time, due to special origins, the descendants of the Liang family were scattered everywhere, and Wang Guishuo, who was named the "wife of the royalist Liang Qichao", was forced to live in a dark and narrow house, which was the rest of his life, and was only discovered a few days after his death, hastily buried, and after the turmoil passed, the children were grief-stricken and buried her next to the tombs of Liang Qichao and Li Huixian every year to worship.

At the foot of Beijing's Xiangshan Mountain, there is a Liang Qichao cemetery designed by the famous architect Liang Sicheng. Next to the tombstone where Liang Qichao and his wife Li Huixian are buried is a white-bark pine that symbolizes strength and integrity, and the children of the Liang family call it the "mother tree".
