One might also count Titus, as his Emperorship was universally beloved as well, but he made a lot of enemies before becoming Emperor (including a stint as a conquering general, and then his father's head of secret police ๐Ÿ˜ฌ), while Antoninus Pius rose to the position without stepping on any major toes.
