Live as happy as her

Hi. Is this example sentence correct? I think we can use both of the words "her" and "she" in the sentence. Thank you in advance for your help.


I wish I could live as happy as her/she.

Her is common in informal English. Technically only she is correct because as isn't a preposition. It's an adverb and no grammatical rule says her should be used in connection with an adverb.
