Summary:
Yuanyuan is the last life steward system in the future world. After 5023, all mankind has entered the era of mechanization. Unfortunately, she will be destroyed. After being destroyed, Yuanyuan discovered that she had actually traveled to the 1980s when supplies were scarce. She became the second cannon fodder who abused her nephew and niece. She was finally cleaned up by her husband who was an officer. She was abducted and trafficked to her death in the mountains.

Shen Huai has a handsome face and extraordinary aura. As soon as Yuanyuan approaches him, she has a steady stream of energy supply, filling her with energy. There is such a good energy in front of her. She can’t get a divorce when she says nothing. She sees a man’s body compare with each other day by day. A good day, but the look in her eyes is getting more and more wrong. (TN: part of me feels it meant to say ‘his’ eyes as in the ML but I can’t be sure so I’m leaving it)

I heard that Shen Huai brought back a daughter-in-law from a rural town. Everyone thought that the girl from a small place had never seen the world, and she must be ugly in a big city, but she didn’t understand etiquette. I didn’t expect this girl to stun everyone with her fluent English. The state banquet chefs clapped their hands for good dishes. The Shen family thought that this was already very good. They didn’t know that the girl could cut, cultivate, animal husbandry, pharmacy, acupuncture, brewing, craftsman, the whole decathlon. While everyone was envious, jealous and hated, they all sighed that Head Shen really picked up the treasure. Everyone in the army heard that Shen Huai was often in a daze because he missed his little wife at home, and his comrades all wanted to know how beautiful his sister-in-law was, so that the cold and abstinent head could not think about it. On the day Chen Yuan entered the military hospital, she was said to have caused a sensation because of her high appearance, which led to an increase in the registration rate. One-sentence introduction: Relying on food to conquer the cold husband’s intention: work hard to make progress every day.

Review:
I skipped a lot from chapter 70ish. The author have an excuse to explain MC perfect skill, because she was a robot from the future. MC will make the children, ML and ML younger brother happy so she can get energy. Not sure why she need it when she is a human now, there's no shop or upgrade in the system. More precisely the system didn't do anything. It just said MC can collect energy from other happiness. The ending is abrupt, like it was summed up in 2 chapter. No romance progress between MC and ML, MC just please ML so he is happy, ML like MC because she took care the children. All other characters will either like, depended and become success because of MC or dislike MC.
MC transmigrated after she married ML. ML went to mission in hurry after he married OMC, OMC is angry and hit his head. OMC was from rural, she married ML so she can stay in the city and asked ML to arrange a stable job for her. But she was left to take care ML 2 nephew and 1 niece, money and food is left to ML stepmother. Who will not get angry with that 😅 in original storyline, OMC divorce ML after he went back, she was trafficked and died.
MC patiently took care the 3 children and make ML stepmother shut up. Thing MC did that always successful beyond words:
- open a cooking class, making restaurants in the city booming because of her secret recipe.
- open english class with game and make all children grade improved in half a month
- make english book exercise which sold like masterpiece
- make ML younger brother who has cerebral palsy to open business. He sell flavoured melon seeds.
- make ML younger brother made multi function desk and chair for children. A big factory buy the patent and hired ML younger brother as technic consultant
- make comic strips which include trafficker prevention, dna testing, profiler. Making kids avoid trafficker, police hired MC to work on DNA test which completed within few days.
- work with police and make anti theft alarm
- share a fertilizer formula to her father who can't read. It improve the crop speed and quality.
- make her comic to animation with perfection standard. ML younger brother like a mute girl, the girl start working as animator with MC help.
- open restaurant with her comic theme which is modern theme. Also implement buffet, catering etc
- the mute girl's mother is blind and father is paralyzed. With the marriage dowry, the father went to operation. Then MC teach the blind mother how to massage. She open a massaged shop and sold MC heat plaster. Which also making multi level marketing...
- make instant noodles brand
- make amusement park

In summary the story focus on MC perfection on all things. The small conflicts seems like filler.
