How it's used
This term is specifically reserved for romantic relationships. While it sounds slightly formal in some contexts, it is the standard way to describe a couple reconciling after a breakup. People often add the particle 返 at the end to emphasize the return to a previous state.
Examples
After they broke up, they recently got back together.
Do you think there is still a chance for those two to get back together?
