Is there any rationality in cheating?

The rationality of cheating as an act was subjective and depended on one's personal values and moral standards. In some cultures, cheating is seen as immoral behavior, while in others it may be seen as normal or even encouraged. In novels, cheating was often seen as immoral because it would destroy the trust between the characters and affect the stability and happiness of the family. However, in the setting of the plot, sometimes cheating can also be regarded as reasonable. For example, when there is a crisis of trust between the characters or some external factors cause the characters to be unable to maintain a traditional partner relationship, cheating can be used to solve the problem and increase the attraction and tension of the plot. There was no absolute rationality to cheating. It depended on the author's intention and the reader's values.
