What is 師生戀?
在教育機構中擁有權威或導師身分的人與其學生之間的戀情；常被視為禁忌，並由權力不平等、保密性與情感強度所推動。它可以出現在從大學到私人課程等各種情境中，但也引發重要的法律與倫理問題。
師生戀描述的是在一方處於權威、指導或正式教學地位，對另一方有影響的浪漫或性的關係——例如教授與大學學生，或私人家教與其學生。在虛構作品中，這個題材常探討誘惑、從師長角色轉變為親密關係、保密，以及跨越專業界限的後果。由於這種動態包含不平等的權力，作者必須考慮同意、當事人的自主性與合法性；涉及未成年人或存在明顯的脅迫在現實世界中屬於虐待，應在敘事中謹慎處理或避免。
Usage example
在《Endless Romance》中，你可能扮演一名大學生，決定是否向一位有魅力的講師吐露心事；選擇「告白情感」選項將打開一條關於信任、專業界限，以及他們的關係是否能保持健康且自願的情節。
Practical application
了解這個術語有助於作家與讀者辨識這個設定所帶來的特定情感張力與風險：內建的衝突（權力不平等、保密性）、豐富的角色發展（導師與學生之間的成長），以及格式上的需求（內容警示、年齡分級、現實後果等）。對於應用程式開發者與管理員而言，這表示在需要時要求清晰的年齡與同意檢查、加入觸發警示，並設計可分支的路徑，以負責任地處理道德結果。
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.
