The heroine just wants to live like a man, she is a complete big woman.
When a man with such excellent conditions as the earl proposed to her, she was now in the position of a traditional woman. If she accepted the earl, her life would be dominated by the earl and his wealth, so she said that she did not want to marry him.
The death of her cousin's father unexpectedly left her a considerable legacy unconventionally. The matchmaker who heard about this couldn't help but sigh and said that his trick was really clever.
Because the wealthy female protagonist is no longer a proletarian woman, and now she is more like a "man" who has the status of a buyer in the mate selection market. So she finally got rid of her dominant position and could freely choose the person she likes and propose to him~
So I object to some comments that the heroine is just a young woman of literature and art. This is a story of a leftover girl who picks and chooses and ends up marrying the wrong person.
This is an independent woman trying to have a position in a patriarchal society and live the life she wants...a brave person.
