She later became the chief consort of King Sri Thammasokarat - the lord of the kingdom. According to folk story, it is said that with the name "White-blooded Queen" due to the blood flowing from her index finger injury when she went to help with the ordination ceremony, the blood was surprisingly white. During the time Chief Consort of King Sri Thammasokarat, she could not give any son or daughter for succession till middle age. Therefore, she went to request for leaving and living in the old age in making merit and dedicating life to Phra Buddhism by renovating and building many temples throughout the district Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. Temple Wat NangTra is one of them.
