Well, perhaps the woman disguises as a boy for some noble reason like protecting her family or seeking adventure. And the'monkey' part could be a nickname given by the love interest. The plot could involve the two getting into various adventures together, gradually falling in love while the woman is still in her boy disguise, and then there's the big reveal which might cause some initial shock but eventually lead to a happy ending.
There may be some novels in Asian literature that might fit this description. For example, in some Chinese folktales and novels that have been adapted into modern romance - like stories. There could be a character who is a woman disguising as a boy and there might be some connection to the idea of a'monkey', perhaps inspired by the famous 'Journey to the West' where the Monkey King is a prominent character. But it would take some in - depth research to find a novel that exactly meets this description.
