so my theory - the other bodies are the “skins” that the snake sheds, effectively rendering the snake as an immortal, who i bet has been looking for the reincarnation of the morally grey swordsman the entire time - hence millenium of love
That would actually be more lit than the ex killer theory
ah im not sure whats the ex killer theory but i do think the swordsman (the mc is a current reincarnation of him) was both the snake's lover and killer, but whether the murder was intentional is another thing (tbh probably not)
