Showmance means the romance actors engage in for the run of a show. once the run is over so is the romance.

熒幕戀愛（showmance）是演員在戲劇表演中上演的戀愛。表演結束時，戀愛也隨之終結。

The term originated in the theater and moved to movies and scripted television and then reality television. The term has now moved to the populace to describe any contrived^{1 romance.}

這個說法初現于劇院表演，后來適用范圍擴展到電影、電視劇與真人秀電視節目。目前，這個詞已經可以用來描述任何形式的不真實戀愛了。

For example:

A: I didn't know Anthony and Cicely were dating.

我沒聽說安東尼和西塞莉在談戀愛啊。

B: It's just a showmance, Cicely is just dating Anthony just to make Edgar jealous.

那不過是熒幕戀愛而已，西塞莉跟安東尼約會就是為了讓埃德加嫉妒。
