Synopsis:

After an accidental death, Ye Huan opened her eyes again and turned into an educated youth in the 1970s, Ye Huan, lying in a dilapidated and leaky room with two little babies waiting for her to take care of them.

The husband is a soldier and he is not at home all year round.

Eventually the original passed away, and Ye Huan transmigrated.

Looking at the supermarket that suddenly appeared with joy, Ye Huan happily accepted her status as a widow, ready to start a new life.

As a result, at this moment, her husband, who was rumored to have died, returned.Everything was disrupted, and things moved in a weird direction.

Impressions: Well, this is quite fantasy. Honestly, I might've dropped this if it weren't so short.

So our MC transmigrates to the 70s. She became the bullied wife of ML. ML is a soldier and he lives in the barracks most of the time. While ML is away, her mother-in-law always bullies the original and her kids. Finally, when they lost contact with ML for 3mos, they thought he was dead so they kicked out the original's family. Laters, the original died cos of poor health. Then MC comes in with a...supermarket for some reason. She died thru a car crash btw.

The Supermarket technically isn't 'hers' since she has to redeem the stuff with Happiness points. So she first got Happiness points from the kids. She makes the kids happy, used their happiness points to get food from the Supermarket, then make something delicious to make them happy, its a cycle so far. THEN ML comes back, he's been injured so he was dismissed from service but he's given a position in the county so he's staying for good.

ML is inlove with his wife, it was more of a love at first sight, laters he found an opportunity to propose marriage to the original, and the original wanted to escape from the hardships of being an educated youth so she agreed. So yeah, he immediately noticed something was off with his wife plus the modern stuff from the supermarket. He suspected that MC may be a spy. Later, our MC confessed her identity plus the Supermarket and ML accepts it. He's opposed to divorce though, thinking that his wife might come back later. 

Later, MC wore a jade pendant by the original, and ML starts having dreams. He dreamt of the original's previous life. She died after she was kicked out and was then buried. Then ML followed her soul, and she was reincarnated to our MC, she grew up and then died on a car accident then her soul went back to the 'original' when she just died. So our ML now knows that his wife didn't get "replaced" by a stranger. So he starts being all sweet with her, and MC is getting all this Happiness points from him for seemingly no reason so she's weirded out.

Later, she also dreamt of the previous life. After the original died, ML was soooo sad, and she finally learned that ML was inlove with his wife and did not just choose her out of  convenience. (ML and original wife wasn't lovey dovey) Then she also finds out that she is the reincarnation of the wife, so technically she is ML's wife. And now she's inlove with him and they finally decided to really be a couple. ML was soo happy, the Happiness points she got was enough to buy the whole Supermarket, so she's the owner now and doesn't need to redeem stuff. The End.

Reasons for almost dropping this: MC reaallly likes the kids so she plans to divorce ML and take them, which I find weird cos its not like ML is abusing them so I don't agree that she takes them away from their real Dad. Fortunately(?), her transmigrator identity got found out plus ML didn't agree to the divorce. There's also ML who is sooo inlove with his wife from first sight but HE NEVER SHOWED IT so when MC checked the original's memories, she thought they were just a lukewarm couple. So yeah, didn't really like the MC or ML. The plot wasn't so bad though that I had to drop it. The twist was kind of interesting.

Nearest reco is Transmigrates as a Seventies Girl(?), the MC there also has a Supermarket with her when she transmigrated in the 70s.

Edit: Also adding Back to 1999 [Military Marriage] 回到1999[军婚]. Another short novel (67 chaps + 1 Extra). MC is reborn before her fiance died. In the last life, MC's fiance died trying to save some kid, MC is already an orphan so when even her fiance died, the people said that she was a 'lone star'/destined to be alone. Unable to stand the villagers eyes, she left the village. She was alone till she died of illness. After rebirth, she prevented the kids from going swimming (they will have an accident) and her man did not die and they got married and moved to the military compound (ML is a soldier). Mostly, food porn (MC opened a restaurant) since ML is away most of the time or other people's problems (cos MC and ML never fight). Ending is MC giving birth to a daughter. Extras is daughter growing up and getting married. Hmm.. its okay. Kind of...hmm... uninteresting though (sorry!) cos it feels like nothing is happening much on our MC and ML. MC is cooking at the restaurant and ML is away on missions. And its okay, I mean, I like peaceful slice of life but instead they talk about their neighbors or in-laws problems. So its mostly MC's observance of other couples problems and her thoughts about it (???) so I don't see the point of it really. Plus its already 1999 so it doesn't really feel 'dated'.
