The Biography of Zhu Ju records that in the 1st year of Huanglong (229), when Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye, he summoned Zhu Ju to marry the princess, appointed him General of the Left and enfeoffed him as Marquis of Yunyang. Later, when the two palaces contended, Zhu Ju defended the Crown Prince and was demoted to Assistant of Xindu Commandery, and before he reached his post, Sun Hong, Prefect of the Palace Writers, forged an edict and sent it after him, granting him death.

Lady Zhu, consort of Sun Xiu, was the daughter of Zhu Ju, borne by this princess, Sun Xiu's elder sister. At the end of the Chiwu era Sun Quan took her as consort for Sun Xiu. When Sun He was Crown Prince, Princess Quan slandered and harmed Sun He's mother, Lady Wang, and sought to depose the Crown Prince and set up the Prince of Lu, but Princess Zhu would not go along, and because of this a rift opened between the two princesses. In the Jianxing era, when Sun Jun monopolized power, the members of the imperial clan were all uneasy, but since Quan Shang's wife was Sun Jun's elder sister, Princess Quan alone was shielded.

In the 2nd year of Wufeng (255), when an envoy from Shu came on a courtesy visit, the general Sun Yi and others sought to take advantage of the gathering to kill Sun Jun. The plot leaked, Sun Yi and the others killed themselves, and those who died numbered several dozen, extending even to the princess Sun Luyu. The Biographies of Consorts record that Princess Quan seized the opportunity to say that Princess Zhu had plotted together with Sun Yi, and that Sun Jun unjustly put Princess Zhu to death. Sun Xiu, afraid, sent his wife Lady Zhu back to Jianye, parting from her in tears with her hands in his, but Sun Jun sent her back to Sun Xiu. Records, Wu 19 §73 · 75Records, Wu 5 §32

In the Taiping era, Sun Liang learned that Princess Zhu had been harmed by Princess Quan and asked why Princess Zhu had died. Princess Quan, frightened, said that she truly did not know and that it had all been reported by Zhu Ju's two sons Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun, and Sun Liang put Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun to death. The Biography of Sun Chen records that Sun Liang looked into the full circumstances of Sun Luyu's killing and, angrily rebuking the Area Commander of Hulin Zhu Xiong and his younger brother the Area Commander of the Outer Division Zhu Sun for failing to restrain Sun Jun, ordered Ding Feng to kill the two.

In the document he submitted when deposing Sun Liang and welcoming Sun Xiu, Sun Chen said that Zhu Ju's sons Zhu Xiong and Zhu Sun had established themselves through loyalty and righteousness, and that although the past killing of the Younger Princess had in fact been contrived by the Elder Princess, the emperor had not examined the full circumstances and had at once put the two to death.

After his accession Sun Xiu beheaded Sun Chen and exterminated his kin to the third degree. He then had Sun Jun's coffin dug up, took away his seal and ribbon, hacked away the wood of the coffin and buried it, and Chen Shou wrote that this was because Sun Jun had killed Sun Luyu and others. Chen Shou's main text does not record Sun Luyu's year of birth, her age at death or the place where she died. Records, Wu 19 §100–101Records, Wu 5 §15 · 32

In his assessment in the Biographies of Consorts, Chen Shou said that Sun Quan had a clear eye for recognizing men of talent and the ambition of an outstanding man, but because he failed to distinguish between the sons of his principal wife and those of his concubines, the inner chambers and the court fell into disorder, he left behind a laughingstock, and calamity flowed down even to his descendants.
