Taiwan's rising star Kwai Lun-mei brought her low-key relationship with director Leon Dai into the limelight at the 46th Golden Horse Awards ceremony on Saturday night.
The "All about Women" actress gave Dai a hug onstage as she presented him with the Best Original Screenplay award.
When asked to comment on Dai's award-winning film "No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti" (Cannot Live Without You), before the Best Feature Film award was announced, she choked up several times out of excitement, and the camera also caught Dai in the audience, holding back tears with his eyes red-rimmed.

Leon Dai was the biggest winner at this year's Golden Horse Awards, sweeping up four trophies, including the best director, best feature film, best original screenplay, and outstanding Taiwanese film of the year, as well as an additional award voted upon by audiences for the most outstanding film of the year.
Leon Dai, 43, and Kwai Lun-mei, 25, met five years ago while collaborating on the 2004 film "The Passage". They have kept their relationship hidden because Kwai's parents were against it, according to the TVBS.
In an interview with the Shanghai-based Daily News, Dai said he regarded Vic Chou and Kwai Lun-mei as the most promising of Taiwan's new generation of performers.
"Kwai Lun-mei has a unique grace and personality," he said.
He didn't thank his girlfriend after receiving the awards because he said he wanted to distinguish business from private life. "I hope you will focus on my movie," Dai said.
