[Katekyo Hitman Reborn: First Generation] Daybreak

[Also known as: Century-Old Evidence]

"I've never seen days so bright, yet so steeped in gloom."

"Though my era is peaceful, a lifetime would not be enough to heal the festering wounds beneath its tranquil surface."

"The night is long. I can only hope dawn will break through the darkness and bring the day."

Ever since she was shoved into this lousy department, Tong En has felt her future was bleak. That feeling was almost immediately confirmed. The first time Tong En saw that man, she thought, I must never get involved with him in this life. As they spent more time together, experience proved that this man was probably destined to die alone. And then, at the very end, Tong En covered her face. Damn, that hurt.

A few things to know before reading (づ￣3￣)づ╭

1. This is a detective mystery, set from the late eighteenth century onward. Some details are researched, others made up. It's my first time writing this, so just have fun with it.

2. The romance is one-on-one. The heroine isn't a pure, perfect sweetheart. Don't trust her personality at the beginning.

3. The cases include both adaptations and original stories, but the content is entirely original. If you're uncomfortable or uninterested, please click away.

4. This is a work of self-indulgent imagination. I wanted to write about the Arnold I see in my mind.

Lastly, happy reading!

Your favorites motivate me to update! If the story gets 100 favorites, I'll post a sweet bonus chapter ^^

Important notice: I'm busy working out the setting for my next story, so updates may be irregular, but I won't abandon this one.
