Morphology
The meaning 'a narrative that centers on a romantic relationship' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'love' (romantic affection) with 'story' (a narrative). This compositional noun+noun phrase is common cross-linguistically (e.g. Spanish 'historia de amor') and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Love story joins love and story, so imagine a tale that follows a romantic relationship between two people. That's why it means 'a story about a romantic relationship'.
