i know it would have been absolutely a different genre for joy of life in an AU where fan xian Was raised in the palace with the princes (def more horror story feel in some of it, increasingly 6D levels of chess, more insanity), but the concept has a certain Fascinating appeal
(it's that one screenshot in the festival where he's just. walking with the rest of the princes in the center of a group as if he belongs there!! with the emperor talking about the flowers etc etc)

also adding for the type of jingheng or zhongchi fics i like to read, i would like them to have that Whole intrigue escalation mood from 5:53 to 11:21 of episode 11 of joy of life 2, but it is....very challenging for fic authors to get the vibe right (understandably so) (´;ω;`) fan xian: *says a line*
second prince: *says something cutting back*
*both their right-hand men/bodyguards fly down from the rooftops to fall into step behind them*
second prince: it's a pity that you haven't been in the Capital for long and don't have enough friends *second prince has a whole bunch of his guards appear in the market streets and follow them* fan xian: luckily, with my current position, i know a lot of people
*a bunch of fan xian's men from the first division of the imperial inspectorate show up at the end of the road, following fan xian's steps as well*
like the Implications in the back-and-forth, the antagonistic silent threats behind other characters' actions even as they are speaking politely, the stakes getting higher with each and every line of dialogue
the power-jostling type of conversation that fan xian and the second prince have in that one episode......SO GOOD
