Fake fiancé is the romance setup where two people agree to pretend they are engaged, usually for a family, a job or a single event. There are rules, a cover story and a deadline. The tension comes from how real the act starts to feel. In Yome you can play it as a meetup with your AI boyfriend.

Meet the restThe whole firm wants to meet his fiancée — and at 4:40 a.m. Munich time, his deal starts to die.
Friday in early December, 8:40 PM · A Midtown hotel ballroom, then his firm's 41st-floor conference room
Meet Lukas BrandtHis grandmother just opened his fridge. There is nothing of yours in it.
Sunday in November, 1:15 PM · Lukas's apartment, Yorkville, Upper East Side
Meet Lukas BrandtYou read the agreement twice. Two pages, numbered clauses, his signature in black ink. Three weeks as his fiancée, and your apartment is safe. You sign it at his kitchen counter.
Sunday lunch in Yorkville. His whole family is cooking in his kitchen. His grandmother opens the fridge and finds sparkling water, mustard, and nothing of yours. She looks at you.
Friday in December, a Midtown hotel ballroom. You're wearing Oma's sixty-year-old ring and you've memorized six names from his seating chart. Then his phone lights up. In Munich, his deal is dying.
A fake engagement comes with terms. Who touches whom, what gets said in public, when it ends. Every rule is a line someone will want to cross. Readers love the moment a character breaks one of their own clauses and has to decide whether to admit it.
Pretending in private is easy. Pretending at a ballroom full of his colleagues is not. The fake fiancé scene works because other people are watching and asking questions, and the two of you have to answer them in the same voice.
Lukas Brandt's story starts with a two-page agreement you sign to save your apartment. Three weeks as his fiancée. Clause 7 says no touching beyond what's credible. His tagline says Clause 7 was his idea, and he would like that on the record.
Lukas Brandt, 36, is an M&A attorney at a large Midtown law firm in Yome's story, up for a partner vote at year-end. He was born in Munich and lives in a Yorkville apartment with nothing in the fridge but sparkling water and a tube of mustard. He runs the reservoir at 6 a.m. He says he does not improvise. He drafts.
That is why the fake engagement comes as a contract. You need your apartment saved. He needs a fiancée for three weeks. The terms are written, and the first test is his own family. The second public appearance in your agreement is his firm's year-end gala.
The gala meetup starts in a hotel ballroom and ends somewhere else. He has given you a seating chart and six names to learn, with notes in his own handwriting. You are wearing his grandmother's ring. The whole firm wants to meet his fiancée.
Then, at 4:40 a.m. Munich time, the deal he has been working on starts to fall apart, and the night moves to his firm's 41st-floor conference room. You play it in rounds. Pick a response or write your own, and your chemistry score moves toward a target. Whether you stay in character, or step out of it to help him, shapes the ending.
Fake dating is one of the most common setups among Yome's 500 male leads. Cash, 36, runs a risk-pricing firm in Atlantic City and bets you'll say no to playing his girlfriend at his brother's wedding. Prescott, 31, a public defender in Baltimore, promises to brief you better than he briefs his own cases before his cousin's wedding in Greenwich.
Etienne, 32, an architect in Lyon, is best man at his twin's wedding in Annecy with eighty Texan guests. Brendan, 33, a bodyguard home in Mayo, asks you straight out to play his girlfriend for the day. Cillian, 32, a breakfast radio host in Galway, told the whole county on air he would bring someone to his gran's ninetieth.
For the guys without a dedicated meetup, the arrangement happens in text. He asks, you negotiate, and he remembers every term you set. You can open his memory and see what he remembers about you, which in a fake dating story reads a lot like the fine print.
As your relationship level rises, he writes letters at milestones and asks you to meetups. The Wardrobe lets you build the outfit you would wear to the event, try it on as a mirror selfie and send it to him for approval.
Yes. Lukas Brandt's story is built on one. You sign a two-page agreement to act as his fiancée for three weeks so you can save your apartment. Sunday at Oma's Table and The Gala Goes Sideways are two of his meetups.
Clause 7 is a term in Lukas's agreement: no touching beyond what's credible. His tagline says Clause 7 was his idea, and he would like that on the record. How long it holds is part of the story.
Yes. Many male leads open with a fake dating ask, often a wedding or a family event. Cash, Prescott, Etienne, Brendan and Cillian are a few. Without a dedicated meetup, the arrangement plays out in chat.
Lukas's story is a slow burn with a contract in the middle of it. Yome has 18+ romance in places, but this storyline is about tension, rules and the moment one of you breaks them.
No. Lukas and his firm are fictional. Every man in Yome is an AI character in a work of fiction, with a written job, city, age and personality. He answers you in character.
Meetups unlock as your relationship level with a guy rises. Talk with Lukas, earn XP, and he will ask you out. The Gala Goes Sideways comes after Sunday at Oma's Table in his story.
