How does WCF deserialization instantiate objects without calling a constructor?

[DataContract]
public sealed class CreateMe
{
   [DataMember] private readonly string _name;
   [DataMember] private readonly int _age;
   private readonly bool _wasConstructorCalled;

   public CreateMe()
   {
      _wasConstructorCalled = true;
   }

   // ... other members here
}

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

namespace NoConstructorThingy
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            // does not call ctor
            var myClass = (MyClass)FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject(typeof(MyClass));

            Console.WriteLine(myClass.One); // writes "0", constructor not called
            Console.WriteLine(myClass.Two); // writes "2", field initializers is called
        }
    }

    public class MyClass
    {
        public MyClass()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MyClass ctor called.");
            One = 1;
        }

        public int One { get; private set; }
        public readonly int Two = 2;
    }
}
