Turns exactly as i expected. In the very beginning, i expected MC to take the exam. This is not a japanese manga, but a korean one instead, so i was hopeful (top reason why i stopped reading japanese mangas). Then, almost right away, it became clear that she was studying for the sake of basically becoming a housewive (which made me want to run away as if it was a japanese manga)... Made me want to crush my head against the wall. At that point, i thought.... "Ok, this is this kind of story again. Even if she does end up taking the exam, this will be because she obeys someone's else advice. Not because she can decide for herself. Because despite having pushed by opening the exam to women, she never considered being anything but a housewife herself". She was meant to be the "master" in her relationship with the Emperor, but it is very clear that she is nothing more than the stereotyped shoujo girl through and through.
