We have so much more respect for Shanghai's 'No. 1 Beauty' now

Pictured at right is Shen Lijun, who, according to "many netizens" is the "No.1 Beauty in Shanghai." (Shanghaiist thinks she is so 2006.)

Anyway, Xinhua says BBSs have long been aflutter with the "shocking" rumor that Shen is determined to marry nothing less than a billionaire (so all you Millionaire Fair attendees, step off.)

But, wait. Stop stepping-off. Shen says this is simply not true. She clarifies:

"Although it is my dream to marry a billionaire, I still believe it is better for a girl to be self-reliant."

Amen, sister.
