Trope Putting on Airs
When a character affects their speech and manners to make themselves look as if they are of a higher social class they actually are, we can say they are Putting on Airs. This is not merely snobbery (although the characters may display it too), this trope is about deliberately changing their way of speech to make themselves look high class (or at least the person idea of "high class"). Affecting french accents common but not obligatory.

Typically spotted on the Mock Millionaire, the Gold Digger, and assorted social climbers. The Impoverished Patrician and the Princess in Rags tend to overstate their origins by ramping their original affectations this way. Usually betrayed by their less classy accent slipping under stress.

 * Hyacinth Bucket Keeping Up Appearances
 * Doña Florinda in El Chavo del Ocho

Trope The Second Male Lead Is For The Audience
"The main male lead is for the heroine, but the second male lead is for the readers"

- Common saying in Chinese online fan spaces

When the Romantic Runner-Up is more appealing for audiences then the main hero.

This can happen in two ways


 * As an accident, usually in the cases when the author believes that All Girls Want Bad Boys and creates a Nice Guy Romantic Interest that feels to many readers as the best option, but they know that the creators will only leave him as the Romantic False Lead at best, or Disposable Fiancé at worst.
 * As a deliberate attempt on Fanservice: since the audiences have become more genre savvy and had learn to spot the Romantic False Lead, some creators deliberately make a character that ticks most of the audience favorite tropes, and then put him to Ship Tease.

The source behind many a Fan-Preferred Couple

This trope is more common in works directed to a female audience.

Literature

 * In Twilight, before the publishing of Breaking Down, Jacob was more liked among the readers than Edward.
