Cross-Dressing as a Man, No Romance, No Cringey Scenes

Looking for a no-romance story where the heroine disguises herself as a man. She shouldn't be described as girly, since she's pretending to be a man. Good writing, and please, no cringey, melodramatic plot twists. I've read too many on Fanqie where the protagonist has a male identity but still acts all girly. Don't recommend anything with descriptions like "cherry-red lips," please 😭
