What would even be the fallout if she told him?
He also hid her identity from her, so it’s not like he has the moral high ground, and finding out the woman he loves is also objectively the best match for a political marriage is a dream come true.
Her coming clean about her identity is literally all upside.
at this point the reveal of her background will not even be climatic, problematic or stirr a conflict. They're so in love he will forgive everything she says. He wouldn't feel betrayed by her cause he loves her that much and they even already suspect she is the princess. So everything the webtoon build on regarding her identity will be for naught cause unless she will leave him/betray him or something similar he will forgive her like "oh nice, it doesn't matter anyway". ofc she hesitates about telling him cause she has her own conflict but thats also to give the reader anxiety about her coming true about her identity to the emperor even tho we know that the reveal will probably be quite boring and brushed aside soon
