Sun Bingwen saw Shao Rong smiling many times. When she was in the character of Rong Rong, her smile never faded. But he knew that it was all an act.
When she was in her original self, she would smile which was a polite one. Who in high society doesn't fake a smile at their enemies? Sun Bingwen is too similar to such smiles. Hence those polite smiles were never real. They were just for formality. A simple gesture to maintain their image.
But the smile he just saw on her lips is different. It is not a happy smile with usual brightness nor was it a polite smile with its fakeness. It is different.
It is a smile an Emperor bestows their subjects when he is satisfied. For some unknown reason he felt burdened by the smile.
