The raven haired Chinese beauty was crowned the first runner up in the Miss Universe beauty pageant for the first time in China's History. Originally she was the second runner up but when the first runner up became the  Miss Universe, due to the withdrawal of the crown from the then-reigning winner Oxana Fedorova, she became the first runner up.

She had a Modeling contract with the Shanghai Yifei Model Agency. She won the gold prize for the Chinese beauty Pageant held in Guangdong which paved her way to become Miss China and from there to Miss Universe. First woman ever to represent mainland China at Miss Universe, Ling Zhuo was the youngest among the top five.

Zhuo's parents divorced when she was only 14 years old. She is living with her father and he is the most dearest person in her life. Unlike other stars who try to hide their love affairs, Zhuo Ling revealed that she introduced her American boyfriend to her parents. Eventually she would like to run her own Fashion Design Clothing company.
