Book Three : Breaching the Formation 《破阵子》:
Qiao Feng falls from grace after he is revealed to be a Khitan, and is wrongly accused of murdering some fellow martial artists. He becomes an outcast of the martial world of the Han Chinese-dominated Song Empire, which is at war with the Khitan-led Liao Empire.
Qiao Feng leaves to verify the claims that he is a Khitan and investigate the murders. He is accompanied by Azhu, who loves him. He finally accepts the fact that he is indeed a Khitan and assumes his ancestral name "Xiao Feng". In tracking down a mysterious "Leading Big Brother", whom he believes is responsible for the murders and his parents' deaths, he mistakenly thinks that Duan Zhengchun is the "Leading Big Brother", and challenges him to a one-on-one fight. However, it turns into a tragedy when Azhu disguises herself as Duan Zhengchun and allows Xiao Feng to kill her. Duan Zhengchun is actually Azhu's father.
Regretful, Xiao Feng leaves Song territory with Azi, Azhu's younger sister, whom he had promised to take care of. Azi has a strong crush on him but he does not reciprocate. By chance, Xiao Feng encounters the Liao emperor, Yelü Hongji, becomes sworn brothers with him. Yelü Hongji makes Xiao Feng a powerful noble and gives him a large princely estate.
Xingqiu is an idol. He loves singing and dancing, loving making people happy with his music. He likes reading and sometimes practices martial arts. Oh, he's also openly gay.
Chongyun lives in a very sheltered household. His parents have his whole life planned out for him and he finds it hard to express his feelings to others. He has two friends named Xiangling and Hu Tao and doesn't really like anything except martial arts and a little music here and there.

Hu Tao finds a song written and sung by Xingqiu and tells Chongyun about it. He immediately falls in love with the song, but with his strict parents, he has to hide it. He looks more into the song and finds that Xingqiu wrote it. Listening to more songs of his, Chongyun quickly finds himself attached. He tells Xiangling and Hu Tao about it, and of course, they do something stupid. They surprise Chongyun with tickets to one of Xingqiu's upcoming concerts.
Events happen and the two boys are so obviously in love with each other. What will happen between the two?
