What is 师生恋?
在教育权威或导师身份与其学生之间的浪漫关系；常被视为禁忌，通常由权力不对等、保密性和情感强度驱动。它可能出现在从大学校园到私人课程等各种情境中，但引发重要的法律与伦理问题。
师生恋描述一方在权威、指导或正式教育角色之中对另一方产生浪漫或性关系——例如教授与大学生，或私人导师与学员。在虚构作品中，这一题材常探讨诱惑、导师关系转变为亲密、保密，以及跨越职业边界的后果。由于这一动态包含不对等的权力，作者必须考虑同意、主体性与合法性；涉及未成年人或存在明显强迫的关系在现实世界中属于滥用，应在讲述时小心处理，或在叙事中完全避免。
Usage example
在 Endless Romance 中，你可能扮演一名大学生，决定是否向一位充满魅力的讲师吐露心事；选择“表白感情”选项将开启一个关于信任、职业边界，以及他们的关系是否健康并自愿的故事。

FAQ
Is a teacher/student romance always inappropriate?
Not always — stories between consenting adults who are in educational roles (e.g., a university professor and an adult student) can be depicted responsibly. However, any relationship involving minors, clear coercion, or abuse of power is inappropriate and should be portrayed as abusive rather than romantic. Real-world legality and ethics must guide depiction.
How can authors portray this trope sensitively?
Make consent explicit, ensure characters have agency, show the power imbalance and its consequences, avoid glamorizing exploitation, and consider including mature-content warnings. Research legal and institutional consequences in the chosen setting so the story feels grounded.
Why is this trope so common in romance fiction?
It combines high emotional stakes, forbidden-friction, and the intimacy of mentorship turning romantic — ingredients that create intense conflict and character growth. Those dramatic elements appeal to readers who enjoy morally complex, tension-driven relationships.
Will Endless Romance include teacher/student storylines?
Endless Romance may include such storylines when all characters are adults and the narrative treats consent and power dynamics responsibly. Storylines involving minors or exploitative situations are not allowed; such content will be age-gated, carry clear warnings, and offer safe branching options that address consequences.
