Matthew Kim is a Dartmouth grad who has not fully grown up. He often struggles against the pressure of his dad's high expectation of a fast career track, held in stark contrast to his friends' low standards for his romantic life. Disappointed with such conflicting standards, he begrudgingly develops his career and dating life in isolation. On a trip from San Francisco to New York City to celebrate Thanksgiving of 2013, Matthew finds himself in an unexplainable time travel as he encounters a small flashy ruby ring in the backyard of his father's house. He is still in New York City, but in an unfamiliar time-1919. In his new "old world," he experiences overt prejudice as an Asian-American, but manages to make a living by working at an unlikely workplace for his professional and educational background--an Italian restaurant. In a pivotal moment, he encounters a legendary fashion designer of the time, Adelina Bianchi, or "Biani." Her encouragement and warmth inspire him for three full and robust years. Despite being different from him, she still becomes his great mentor and friend. Matthew soon suffers from the loss of such a treasured friendship, a strong emotional upheaval that mysteriously sends him back to his own time. With renewed encouragement from the other world, Matthew confesses his new career interest to his father, who, surprisingly, places his son's happiness above all else. He decides to quit his investment consulting job and starts a fashion company with Scarlet Love-an attractive, intelligent Caltech graduate student who tirelessly joins him in withstanding peer and family pressures and overcoming immeasurable obstacles in his new career. This two-book series celebrates "Gen San Francisco," an emerging American generation that is not only talented and independent but also respectful and open-minded to those different from themselves-are you ready to embrace Gen San Francisco?

Matthew Kim and Scarlet Love finish their humble Kickstarter campaign with two unexpected supporters. Perhaps the rest of the world will laugh at their business scale. Perhaps their classmates will quickly raise millions from highly-networked investors. Unfazed by deterrents, Scarlet and Matthew continue pushing to apply their 3D-printing and bio-material ideas to their new venture: GEN SF. One night, Matthew walks into a seemingly ordinary restaurant, but finds an extraordinary dining experience with Scarlet instead. Everything is cooked and presented perfectly, while their conversation flows effortlessly, like a sweet dream. Mathew has an overwhelming feeling throughout the whole evening. His heart swells with a mixture of excitement and fear that wraps his evening with uncontrollable joy. True to their passion, Matthew and Scarlet invest a heavy load of hours into their venture, which many professional investors briefly scan for their financial gains. During a Las Vegas trip, Matthew and Scarlet manage to grab the brief attention of a savvy angel investor named Mary Chin. But the biggest surprise for their success is yet to come, not from investors, but from their beloved city-San Francisco. This two-book series celebrates "Gen San Francisco," the emerging American generation, which is not only talented and independent, but also respectful and open-minded to those different from themselves-are you ready to embrace Gen San Francisco?
