As a young girl she became known for her studying.
In 217, Cao Pi was named Cao Cao"s heir. When her father told her of Cao Pi"s delight at his appointment, Xin Xianying remarked that it does not forebode well for the dynasty if Cao Pi was happy about shouldering such a sad and heavy responsibility when his father dies.
In 234, when Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi the lady"s dress attempting to stir up Sima"s anger. Sima wrote to Cao Rui and asked for the authority to fight Shu"s forces (it was not known in history whether Sima Yi did this because he was angry himself, or just doing it to calm down his generals).
