"Fake relationship" is a romance trope/genre where two characters enter a pretend romantic partnership—engagement, dating, marriage, or cohabitation—for external reasons (family pressure, a business or publicity arrangement, safety, visas, or to make someone jealous), only to find the act exposes real feelings and deeper vulnerabilities. Stories in this category typically follow the shift from performative intimacy to genuine connection, exploring trust, identity, and how people change when they let others in; they can be comedic or angsty, enemies-to-lovers or friends-to-lovers, and appear across contemporary, historical, YA, and speculative settings. The tension comes from maintaining the charade, the risk of heartbreak when the truth is revealed, and the emotional payoff when pretend affection becomes authentic.
