unfortunately there's a small but substantial flaw in your line of thinking.
This, although there is the "mysterious" element of Shuli's reincarnation, is a semhistoric manwha, not an isekai fantasy, set - I suppose - by the style and names of the characters in a hypothetical German empire at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, where the noble rules are strictly observed and there are no loopholes.
The princes married the princesses of the other kingdoms to cement political and military unions, and perhaps only in their second marriage could they afford to take an interest in noble ladies such as duchesses, marchionnesses or countesses at most (under these titles the marriage was already beginning to smell of morganatic, and the crown was at risk).
This, in short, means that a widow with a low noble title (Shuli was the daughter of an anonymous country squire before becoming a marquise by marriage) can never, ever become a future queen, especially of first marriage to the crown prince, not even if the Lord's blessing came down to give his approval.
The prince probably already has a future spouse from another empire or kingdom written in stone, and with Shuli he has no chance... except to make her a mistress - and thus completely ruin her reputation, because unlike the French court, the German and English ones were much more puritanical: the lovers were there anyway, but nobody talked about them or had to talk about them.
