I hope Paulina gets to marry a man like a monster duchess's husband. He is a badass mercenary who became a knight after marrying the masculine first female knight who is a duchess. The princess and the monster duchess I think is the title of the manhwa. She is the best friend of the emperor. As I said, the husband is a badass and pretty cool but a very goofy and soft person/husband when it comes to his wife and his daughter. I want a "submissive" man for Paulina. The duchess is the one who inherited the title and land and her husband is just the lord of the land.
There is another good manhwa, the marriage proposal of..forgot the full name LOL. the MC is female and with a docile appearance but a strong will and personality. She got to reborn and learned to be strong when needed. She inherited the title and land and her husband is a mercenary and just the lord of the land. Since he is male, he can only be the lord like a wife that becomes the lady of the land. He can't inherit the duke/duchess title.
I like stories like those. In this manhwa, I can't see Paulina becoming the empress
and the emperor turn into the consort. That is why I want them to be best friends like the emperor is best friend with Aino. That will help Paulina to establish her reputation and build from there. There will be many mercenaries or knights that will see her charm after that.
if the emperor tries to help Paulina by making her "enter his harem as help" that will destroy all the effort she went thru and the story that was build-up
