Irony is a literary technique or event where there is a contradiction between what is expected to happen and what actually happens. It often involves a situation that is contrary to what is intended or expected.

∙ 11y agoIrony is all around us and at the heart of life itself. After all our efforts at self improvement, after all our excitement over life's highs and agony over its lows, we die. There is irony in that and irony in that it doesn't matter to most of us as we live our lives anyway. It's something we accept. By way of a definition, irony exists in the discrepancies between the definitions we assign to realities and the realities themselves which don't give a hoot one way or the other about our definitions.
A catchier version: Irony is the gap between our definitions and our realities, between our expectations and our outcomes, and between our plans and our fates.

So, for a romance story you would write the opposite of what you thought the literal meaning was, usually this will be comical.
