Try the king's indian attack for white. Also learn botvinik systems. They are simple, system based openings with clear plans and maneuvres
For black against 1. d4, I have a free course out.

For a beginner the Scotch can be very good because it gaves you open files and diagonals, and lots of tactics and attacks, which is the best for a beginner

But if you want to be very surprising and win fast, but not with a doubtful opening, you can play the King’s Gambit, which can be played until 1600 ELO because most of the players under that rate don’t know how to play against it
