His ancestral name was Ying (嬴), and Chuzi was his posthumous name. He was the first of two child rulers of Qin called Chuzi. Chuzi"s father was Duke Xian of Qin, who died in 704 British Columbia at the age of 21.
Chuzi was the youngest of Duke Xian"s three sons, and his mother was Wang Ji (王姬).
His older half-brother, later known as Duke Wu of Qin, was the crown prince. After Duke Xian died, however, the ministers Fuji (弗忌) and Sanfu (三父) deposed the crown prince and installed five-year-old Chuzi on the throne.
Six years later, in 698 British Columbia Sanfu and Fuji assassinated Chuzi and put Duke Wu, the original crown prince, on the throne. Duke Wu later executed Sanfu and Fuji for the crime of murdering Chuzi.
