Grandfather Wan Wenjian, Liang Zuo Guanglu Doctor, Guangzhou Thorn History. Father Wan Wugang, Sui Li Prefecture Assassin History. Judging from Wan's illustrious family lineage, she was born to a concubine, so she would marry Li Yuan as a concubine.
Li Yuan was born in the first year of Emperor Tianhe of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (566 AD), 35 years older than Wan. Li Yuan was born in the Li clan of Longxi and was a descendant of Li Huan, the founding monarch of Western Liang during the Sixteen Kingdoms period.

Dou was raised in the palace since childhood, and was intelligent and resolute, quite talented. Western Wei was founded with the support of the Eight Pillars. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Yuwen family, the head of the Eight Pillar Kingdom, became a royal family. The Yuan Xin clan of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms was suppressed because it was a Western Wei imperial family. Li Yuan, a descendant of Li Hu, the third descendant of the Eight Pillars, married the niece of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou.

After Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou came to power, Hou Mochen Chong's reign was able to show his blessings, and his descendants restored the dukedom. In this way, through marriage and other means, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou firmly took the Western Wei Eight Pillar State into his own hands.
