Definition
满心 is a fixed adverbial phrase meaning 'with one's heart full of (a particular feeling)'. It always modifies a verb or adjective that expresses an emotion or attitude, like 欢喜 (joy), 期待 (expectation), or 疑惑 (doubt). You cannot use it literally for 'whole heart' as an organ — it's purely figurative. Common pattern: 满心 + emotion-word + 地 + verb.
