Definition
一心 (yī xīn) means 'wholeheartedly, with one's heart and soul', emphasizing single-minded devotion to a goal or person. It differs from 全身心 (quán shēn xīn), which stresses total commitment of body and mind, and from 全心全意 (quán xīn quán yì), a more formal set phrase. 衷心 (zhōng xīn) is used for heartfelt feelings like gratitude, not for actions.
wholeheartedlywith one's heart and soul
