Yang Yuhuan was born in Yongle, Zhou Pu in the Tang Dynasty (now Huayin County, Shaanxi Province). Familiar with melody, good at singing and dancing. Originally, she was the princess of Shouwang, the 18th son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. After seeing Yang Yuhuan's beauty, Xuanzong wanted to bring it into the palace, calling herself a female Taoist priest. The name was too real. In the fourth year of Tianbao (745), he entered the palace and was favored by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, becoming a imperial concubine.

After the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty fled Chang 'an and came to Maweipo. The Sixth Army refused to advance, saying that Yang (the cousin of the imperial concubine) had contact with the conference semifinals, which led to the rebellion in An Lushan. Xuanzong killed Yang to boost morale. The Sixth Army refused to go any further, saying that Yang was your concubine's cousin, and her cousin was guilty, and so was her cousin. The imperial concubine was also hanged in the temple.
