Hayate The Combat Butler (Chinese: 旋風管家) is a Taiwanese television drama based on the Japanese shōnen manga of the same name by Kenjiro Hata.

"Xiao Sa" Ling Qisa is an unlucky teenager who worked since childhood to make ends meet due to his parents' irresponsible behavior.

On that Christmas Day, he got fired from both his daytime and nighttime jobs, and also finds out that his parents were running from the mafia, leaving behind a massive gambling debt on his shoulders.

Hence, Xiao Sa thought that since being a filial son and good student didn't help him at all, he should just be a bad guy and kidnap a rich heir/heiress and demand ransom to pay off his debts.

However, due to some misunderstandings, he ended up saving Xiao Zhi from a few thugs who tried to pick her up.
