Song Ganshan was chosen as a sacrifice, but narrowly survived. While fleeing, she squeezed into a hidden crevice in the mountains. Crawling along a passageway, she reached its end and found an enormous piece of jade, white and luminous as the moon.
A man with sharply carved features and snow-white hair stood within the jade, his eyes covered by a strip of dark ice silk.
Legend had it that an ancient mountain god slept in this mountain, but after ages passed, both its divine form and spirit had fallen silent, leaving only the legend behind.
"Great God, please help me."
"They dug out my heart. I may not live much longer."
"Before I die, could you tell me who betrayed me..."
Beneath the god's jade throne was a shallow, clear pool. Song Ganshan accidentally dipped her bloodied hand into the water and was astonished to discover that it could heal wounds!
She took off her clothes and stepped into the pool.
The jade suddenly cracked.
The man emerged from the jade.
Water splashed. Song Ganshan hurriedly ducked beneath the surface, leaving only a pair of frightened eyes above the water. She had prayed to this "god" every day, begging for his protection. And now the god had appeared?
"Y-you... are you a god?"
Nie Chuan's gaze pierced through the sealed years and fixed unblinking on her face. "Who told you I was a god?"
"I'm human."

Only later did Song Ganshan learn that Nie Chuan was indeed no god. He was the feared ruler of the Four Continents: the Demon Emperor.
PS:
1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads have no prior sexual experience, a journey-focused story, and episodic arcs.
2. The heroine's golden finger is the Demon Emperor: all talk and no bite, but he does exactly what she says.
3. The Demon Emperor is pure in both body and heart, tsundere and sharp-tongued, and a master of acting. Secret-identity story; his hair gradually turns black later on.
