Isabela's beauty as the prefer golden child of her family caught the eye of Mariano Guzmán. Who is often seen smiling lovely at Isabela as she uses her powers, that help to showcase her beauty. Knowing that her grandmother what her to marry him, Isa smiles and acts nice to him. Despite her having no feelings for Mariano and doesn't want to marry him at all, but doesn't have the courage to tell Alma this.

The main reason why Alma wants them to become a couple is because the two are the spitting images of younger Alma and the late Pedro Madrigal. Giving Alma the hope that Isa and Mariano would be able to live the full life she never got to have with Pedro, and that she too gets to that life through them. This leaves Isabela having to hide her thoughts on the subject through smiles and acting like she does want to be his wife. While telling herself that her marrying him is for the good of the family, to help her go through with it.

Fanon
Isariano is mostly seen as a crack ship even though Mariano was shown to have feelings for Isabela, who didn't feel the same way about him and was more than happy when he started to go out with Dolores. That is why there is very little support on this ship from people prefering to have them as friends or future in-laws.
