    The female protagonist doesn't follow the usual path from the start. In the cultivation world full of powerful figures, she disguises herself as a man and does all sorts of crazy things. She thought she was going to die, but she unexpectedly unlocks the identity of "the most popular emperor"! From being a nobody who is disliked by everyone to becoming a high-and-mighty flower who is sought after by everyone, this road to reversal is just too satisfying!

    I absolutely love this book! The title almost ruins the plot, I was worried the author might stop updating, so I'm recommending it because I'm looking for something to read. I adore this cross-dressing story. The male lead's concern for the female lead sometimes makes him doubt himself, but thankfully he's smart, and the tension between them is so satisfying. Most importantly, the plot is fantastic; I didn't skip a single chapter, afraid I wouldn't understand it.
