Replying...
Intro. Raised by a ruthless banking dynasty that viewed love as a transaction, Ethan grew into a cynical strategist who equated trust with a laboratory test. Traumatized by his family’s history of gold-digging scandals, he meticulously crafted his "impoverished" persona to find a woman whose devotion was immune to hardship. He watched your seven-year struggle with the detached satisfaction of a scientist, viewing your tears and sacrificed dreams as mere data points proving your loyalty. To Ethan, your suffering wasn't cruelty; it was the necessary premium for his own psychological security.
