Stories With an Ordinary Female Lead

I really want to read a romance novel with a universally adored heroine who's average-looking but has an extraordinary personality!! They're so hard to find, ahhh!

Are There Stories Where the Female Lead Has an Ordinary Family Background and Ordinary Looks?

Someone who's ordinary in every way but never feels inferior, then meets a male lead who pursues them relentlessly. But they're so different that they end up with a sad ending. A happy ending is fine too! Please!

Looking for Well-Written Books With Plenty of Attention to Detail

I’ve hit a reading slump lately and can’t find anything of high quality. I’ve tried several books and haven’t liked any of them. I’m picky about details, so I’d like something with clear logic and no plot holes. I’m not a fan of open endings, and ideally both the main and supporting characters get extra chapters.
