To make a believable fake marriage fanfic, you need to build strong characters and their motivations. Also, focus on the emotions and conflicts that arise from the fake situation. Add some unexpected twists and turns to keep the readers engaged.
Common tropes in fake marriage novels include misunderstandings that arise from the fake situation, external pressure to maintain the charade, and the struggle to hide the truth from family and friends. And of course, the eventual realization of true love.
One way to fake a marriage could be having the characters stage a big fake wedding ceremony with all the trimmings. And they'd have to keep up the act in front of friends and family. Maybe they even have to deal with unexpected challenges that threaten to expose the truth.
😋I recommend "The Driver of a Beautiful President" to you. The female protagonist of this book, Liu Yanbo, is a taxi and driver. In order to earn money to treat her mother, she faked her marriage to a beautiful president. There were all kinds of troubles and challenges in the story, and it was very interesting. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Fake marriage romance novels are appealing for several reasons. First, the initial setup of a fake marriage creates a lot of built - in conflict. There are often external reasons for the fake marriage, like family pressure or business deals, and the characters have to navigate around these while dealing with their growing feelings for each other. Also, it gives the opportunity for a lot of humorous situations as the characters try to keep up the pretense in front of others. Moreover, the journey from false to true love is always an exciting one for readers to follow.
'The Hating Game' can also be considered in a way. The two main characters have a sort of 'fake relationship' that has elements of a fake marriage. They work together and constantly bicker, but there's an underlying attraction that grows into a deep romantic connection.
There are often the two spouses. One might be more resigned to the situation, just going through the motions of the marriage. For example, a character who got married for financial security and is now stuck in a loveless union. The other spouse could be more rebellious, secretly longing for true love.
Well, it could be because they discover each other's hidden qualities and grow to care deeply. Maybe shared experiences or facing challenges together bring them closer and make the marriage real.
