A period BL novel with an antagonistic love interest is currently updating in my profile.
Novel blurb:
[Fake aloof beauty with a lofty air, actually a chatty, teasing beauty of a shou vs fake world-weary, sharp-tongued top-tier star, actually a double-standard, lovesick gong]
Fu Ting woke up one day and discovered he had a son.
Fu Ting was stunned. Even more astonishingly, once the old man of the family found out, he immediately packed Fu Ting off to a parenting variety show.
Fu Ting felt that the parenting show was out to get him. Looking after one little Hawthorn was exhausting enough, and now a famous top-tier star had set his sights on him.
The entertainment industry’s top-tier star, Shi Zhan, had been incredibly popular ever since his debut. He was best known for a face that seemed to regard everyone else as trash, and a mouth that could insult anyone to death.
On a parenting variety show, fans were surprised to discover that their favorite star had his eye on a handsome older brother.
It showed in the way he openly and discreetly made food for him: sweet-and-sour pork, sweet-and-sour fish, candied hawthorns...
During an outdoor activity, fans noticed that the handsome older brother had his eye on a giant skewer of candied hawthorns, but the production team was short on funds.
So after the show, their idol left his own nephew behind, bought the candied hawthorns, and gave them to the beauty. His intentions were obvious.
Shi Zhan had done plenty of other things like this to “court” him, and he did them without the slightest attempt to hide it.
The whole internet knew Shi Zhan was pursuing Fu Ting. They just didn’t know how long it would take for the beauty to be won over.
Later, Shi Zhan, who usually never posted, started uploading one post a day, each with a nine-picture grid of handsome photos that blinded everyone. He wanted to show off his manliness to the one he loved!
Later still, Fu Ting, who only ever posted about work, opened a private account one day. It was full of records of his daily life. The vlog featured only one person, yet another person kept appearing in it.
The CP fans focused on eating up the sweetness, while the leads focused on handing it out. Fans from both sides posted in unison: “I went to the dentist yesterday, and the doctor told me to eat less candy. @Shi Zhan @Fu Ting”
One day, after filming a movie for three months straight, Shi Zhan hurried home.
In the dark, Shi Zhan pinned Fu Ting down on the bed.
“Baby, you’re so fair, so fragrant, so beautiful. I love you so much. Baby, baby, baby.”
Their clothes scattered. Fu Ting thought he could faintly hear someone crying.
“Why are you crying?”
“Because it feels good. I missed you. I like you. I like you so much,” Shi Zhan sighed.

Warning: Once the gong realizes he loves his wife, he really becomes a lovesick stalker. He hides things his wife throws away and smells his wife’s clothes. He’s a typical wife-first man.
Both are each other’s first and only. Extremely sweet, and if it isn’t sweet, come fight me. Some of the variety show activities are based on real-life shows.
Coming Soon:
[The Ex-Sister-in-Law Who Loves to Dance on Every Landmine and the Fake-Gentle, Truly Sinister Villainous Brother-in-Law]
The good young man Shen Yiran transmigrates into a book and becomes a cannon-fodder shou who is hopelessly in love with the protagonist gong. He breaks his leg and loses his life for him, yet still can’t stop loving him.
Shen Yiran rolls his eyes. It’s one thing to be a simp, but to be one to this extent is unprecedented. And his own life is uniquely miserable, too.
Luckily, Heaven isn’t quite so heartless and gives him a “Kindness Collection System.”
But why is this System so useless? It doesn’t offer a single elixir or golden finger.
To survive, Shen Yiran has no choice but to publicly request a divorce, then turn around and cling to the villainous older brother’s leg.
As the eldest legitimate son of the Empress, Luo Changheng should have had a smooth path to the throne. Instead, his entire maternal clan was wiped out, and he suffered a terrible fate. Luo Changheng thought he was doomed to wander alone in the darkness for the rest of his life. He never expected Heaven to be kind to him and give him the love of his life: his former younger brother’s wife.
What a forbidden romance.
When they first meet:
Shen Yiran: “Your Highness Prince Heng, I may be unworthy, but I’m willing to serve you like a dog or horse.”
Luo Changheng lifts an eyelid and sneers. “Serve me? Does my younger brother know? Besides, Prince Heng’s residence never keeps idlers.”
His expression is cold, but the “Kindness +1” that the System chimes in with at just the right moment gives away what he’s thinking.
Later:
Shen Yiran: “Once you’ve accomplished your goals, Your Highness, could you give me some money and let me resign and live in seclusion?”
System: “Kindness + ID number! Obsession +1! +2! +100... Locked-room warning!”
Luo Changheng’s eyes turn red. “Xiao Deng’er, just try leaving!”
Later still:
On the spacious imperial bed: “Your Majesty, is it not an act of treason to do this with your own younger brother’s wife? Does your dear younger brother know?”
Luo Changheng silences that sharp-tongued mouth, his gaze burning. “She’s my former sister-in-law. Call me something nicer, and I’ll let you off tonight.”
Shen Yiran’s lips curve into a smile. He leans close to Luo Changheng’s ear and, in a clear, alluring voice, says two words guaranteed to infuriate him: “Elder brother-in-law~”
A radiant Yiran brings warmth to all he touches. To have him is my good fortune. I would give everything and spend my whole life seeking only to have him, keep him for myself, protect him, and love him forever.
Luo Changheng

Very nice, but too little
