falsehearted
Pretending sincere affection
Falsehearted means treacherous or deceitful—having a heart that is false.
The word describes someone who feigns loyalty or affection while harboring betrayal: a falsehearted lover, falsehearted promises.
It's literary and old-fashioned, carrying a melodramatic ring that suits ballads and romances more than everyday speech.
