I'm not satisfied with ethan as the ml but I'm thankful the story didn't push Theon as the male lead even on the 2nd life. It's very mature of dorothea to let go of theon aspart of her redemption. She really stood true to what she wanted to change in this cirrent life.
If you read the entire story it gives a definite explaination as to why Theon can’t be the ML. As Theon already said compared to Ethan his love for the empress is merely a child’s play.
