How I, the Villain, Made the Hero Hold a Funeral for Me [Quick Transmigration]

Qi Lian is a low-ranking commoner in a magical world. He's good-looking, but wicked to the core, and he'll do anything to survive. One day, a strange System approaches him and tells him that if he goes to different worlds and plays the villain, it will grant his wish and give him a life of luxury, with all his needs taken care of.

Qi Lian: I can do that.

What's so hard about playing a villain? He's never been a good person anyway. It's just that this System and all these protagonists and supporting characters are acting really strange...

The real and fake young masters: He's the fake young master, switched at birth with the true heir. Knowing he has no right to the place he occupies, he refuses to leave and keeps targeting and bullying the male lead, hoping to drive him away so he can hide his true identity forever. What he doesn't know is that his adoptive parents already know he's not their real son.

The plot has already reached the point where his fake identity is exposed and he's exiled to a desolate planet. All he has to do now is collude with an enemy nation to attack the Empire, then capture the protagonist and torture him physically and emotionally.

Qi Lian is just about to torture the protagonist physically and emotionally when the protagonist suddenly tackles him to the ground and starts kissing him fiercely without a word.

Qi Lian: ???

Qi Lian: Is this really a role a villain is supposed to play?

System: Ahem, this is normal. Haven't you heard the saying, "Villains and protagonists are made for each other"?

Nobody says that, do they? And why does this feel so wrong?

Qi Lian works diligently to play the villain, but the System keeps assigning him ridiculous tasks. It tells him to kiss the protagonist, hug the protagonist, and even do the same to supporting characters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7...

Only later does Qi Lian find out that the System's instructions to break the hearts of the male leads and male supporting characters have a formal name: the "crematorium" trope. Which raises the question: as a villain, why are all these favored sons of fate going through hell for him?

Confusing.
