Definition
心上 means 'in one's heart' or 'on one's mind', referring to something that occupies your thoughts or emotions. It's commonly used in fixed phrases like 放在心上 (to take something to heart) and 心上人 (sweetheart). Unlike the English 'at heart', which suggests a fundamental nature, 心上 is about emotional or mental focus.
