A young hotel employee in Jiangjin of Chongqing put herself up for rent last week through an online ad.

She hoped she could pretend to be a man's girlfriend during a party or accompany him to do things. By doing so, she said she would make full use of her spare time, earn extra money and also find more friends.

But many netizens said she would ultimately damage her self-esteem.
