White, was the first lady-in-waiting for Empress Dowager Cixi. Her father was the Chinese diplomat Yü Keng; and her mother was Louisa Pierson, who was herself the half-Chinese daughter of a Boston merchant working in Shanghai. Although not a member of the Qing royal family, Der Ling was given the title of \"commandery princess\" while serving as the lady-in-waiting for Empress Cixi. She was the ghostwritten author of a number of books and magazine articles with China themes."
