PC Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz and Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora

So I have this little fantasy of mine where Sor Juana Ines finds another option to pursue her studies. Getting married to another Mexican savant, Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora. They are about the same age, both highly intelligent individuals and highly opinionated too. He was kicked out of the Jesuits around 1668 just about one year after Juana Ines joined a convent.

What if, somehow, she delayed her choice and on her way to join the Hieronymites in 1668 just in time to have a chance encounter with Carlos de Siguenza y Gongora. They both impress each other and come up with an arrangement to support each other's studies....

In OTL they did know each other and spoke with each other a lot when Juana Ines was in the Hieronymite convent. But I am picturing a much more advantages relationship for both without Juana Ines being in a convent but attached to Carlos De Siguenza in a marriage or something like that. That way Juana Ines doesn't get suppressed as easily or at least lives longer, potentially.

Though I doubt they'd end up making super genius babies...But what I find interesting here is Carlos' Archbishop being a critic of his faux wife. I could make a TV show out of it...

Anyway, so there lies my question. What are the possibilities of this or something similar or alternative to their actual relationship in OTL?
 
I have never heard of either of these people, but anything that keeps a girl out of a convent is a plus to me :)

She has a cool story and was a genius writer/philosopher nun in Colonial Mexico that at the end was silenced for reasons. Carlos was another genius of a similar vein who lived in the same area near Juana Ines' convent. It would be a cool platonic love affair with some possible light butterflies.
