pure-hearted
Without hidden motives
Pure-hearted describes someone whose intentions and motives are genuinely good, uncorrupted by selfishness or malice.
The phrase suggests innocence and sincerity—a person who acts from authentic kindness rather than calculation: She was too pure-hearted to suspect his manipulation.
Often carries a slightly naive or idealistic connotation.
