Looking for an ancient novel where a woman disguises as a man

He couldn't remember clearly, but there were a few clues:
1。The female protagonist followed the male protagonist since she was young. She was the male protagonist's younger brother or something. The male protagonist didn't like the female protagonist very much. The female protagonist's mother's identity was very special (it was a demonic sect or something. Anyway, she was a bad woman and died in the end), so the female protagonist disguised herself as a man.
2. The male protagonist met the female protagonist by the lake. Of course, he did not recognize her. He fell in love with her and kept looking for her. It seemed that something else happened by the lake.
3。There was also a time when the female protagonist was found bathing in a stream outside by the male protagonist at night. In the end, she ran away again.
4. The female protagonist's hair fell off during the fight and was discovered to be a woman.
Is there any expert who knows about this? I've been looking for it for a long time. Thank you very much!
