Definition
问心无愧 is a four-character idiom (成语) meaning 'to have a clear conscience' — literally 'ask one's heart and feel no shame'. It describes a state where you can honestly say you've done nothing wrong or have made an honest effort, so you have no reason to feel guilty. It's often used as a predicate or a standalone remark, like 'I can look myself in the eye.'
