The result was that after registering their marriage and becoming a legally married couple, Hei Chai only then realized that Hu Zefan had been deceiving her from the very beginning.
He did not love her, the person he loved was his younger stepmother, Chi Yaqian.
Hu Zefan and Chi Yaqian could be considered true love, childhood sweethearts, yet their love was snatched away by his father; he loathed his father to the core.
But to make his father rest assured and eventually leave his vast wealth to him, he needed a woman as a cover, to convey to his father that he no longer had any affection for Chi Yaqian.
Thus, he chose Hei Chai, who was naïve and straightforward, because he felt she was easy to deceive and thought that she was just a poor girl who, even upon discovering the truth, would not be able to compete with him.
He never touched Hei Chai, all to keep himself pure for Chi Yaqian.
