Choosing a response to 1.e4

I have been playing chess for 2 and a half years now and I am happy with most of my repertoire choices. I play the Queen's Gambit as White and I play the semi-slav against 1.d4 as Black. My problem is what to play against 1.e4, I have tried a few things but have never been very satisfied with any of them. My question is are there any non-dubious choices where Black goes for Queenside play? Basically I don't want to have to play for either a kingside attack or a draw, I want something where I can play for a win without attacking White's king. I guess that is asking for a lot so maybe I would have to make the concession of allowing White a powerful attack such as in the French, but if I survive I get a good endgame? (speaking of- would the French be a good option?)
Against 1.e4, I love playing the Sicilian Dragon! Playing the Sicilian is a strong choice against e4! But it has a lot of theory, so if you don't like theory then it isn't a good choice for you.
Although I play e5, I don't really like it because there are so many traps and gambit there, kings gambit, Ponziani, Greco gambit, etc. I would probably recommend to learn Silician, which has many many lines, or French, solid and passive, and Scandinavian. I would think that the Scandinavian is the easiest to learn. Use a couple lichess studies, watch some videos, and most importantly try it out.
Thank you all for the suggestions, I will look into them. Also I don't mind a good amount of theory, as long as it not so much as the Najdorf or something.
Based on what you're looking for, I was thinking of the French before I saw that you mentioned it at the end.

French is a serious opening against e4 but I think there's a lot of theory you need to know. Also, I think you should be a bit higher rated before you play it. Would recommend something a bit more open at this stage. Once you get to about 2000 on here, you should pick it up then if you think it's more your style.

For now, I'd suggest the Caro Kann (c6). c6 is also a very strong reply to e4 at the 1700+ level - solid and positional. Is a bit more open. There are sharper lines but mostly you can play for a win but some lines can be drawish.

Although not exactly sound at a higher level, the Alekhine Defense is quite easy to play and can be tactical and fun as well. Same applies to the Scandinavian. Pawn structure with the Scandinavian is a bit similar to the Caro Kann as well.
I play the scotch gambit as white, so when i face e4, the hell am i going to respond against that with e5. I have played the modern scandinavian for a while, few years now.

There are many good elements to it. To start, it does give you an edge, as it is not as common, and the opponents are not always prepared for it. It has many trappy positions that may give you easy wins.

If they more or less know what they are doing, the main lines arrive to very even positions. So really the best player wins there.
And i dont even recall the main positions lol. Im out of theory at move 4-5 in a couple of variations.

example 1. I deviated at move 3.
I did followed the main line. It was evenish until he blundered. Then i was winning and had a mouse slip. i swear i knew.
Evenish position. But he messed up due time pressure i suppose.
As you can see. The positions reached are fairly even. But due to my experience with it, i sometimes get time advantage, which translate in my opponent making a mistake due to time trouble, or outright flag.

I have a lot of confidence in this opening, i play nothing else against e4, but just be prepared, sometimes you will end up playing a french defense if they refuse the gambit., so, you have to learn that one too, at least to reach mid game even.
The positional sound CK with a great potential in order to play for a win is just fine.
Based on your question's preferences it'd seem a tad odd not to recommend the Sicilian considering what you're describing is the Sicilian!
It's solid, you primarily attack on the Queen's side and it's a rich enough defence so you don't normally play for a draw.
If I were you I'd look into the classical lines (with ...e6) or the Kan (early ...a6).
Mind you, you will need to learn theory and understand structures.
If you're going for a Kan you'll need to understand the Hedgehog and if you're going for 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 - you will need to actually study it because there are many ways to play against the Sicilian.

All that said, in my opinion, your specifications are flawed because you're trying to go around and ignore too much that is chess.
I'll point out that the concept of "getting a good endgame" in the French is how things happen at the higher level, but remember before the 80s the French endgame was considered bad for black , and at the sub-master level I think from a practical perspective it can be harder than people realize to play those with the black pieces.
