Please help me out

thank you first

Save him she could not, but she avenged him in the most terrible fashion afterwards.
The sentence is that although she could not save him, but she avenged him in the most terrible fashion afterwards.
The two sentences above are correct. I want to try other way below.
Although Chinese girls would try to draw the attention of boys, they did not dare to expose themselves too much.
Can I change the sentence into this (try to draw the attention of boys Chinese girls would, they did not dare to expose themselves too much)
If it is incorrect, please explain to me why and how to use correct one like this form -Save him she could not, but she avenged him in the most terrible fashion afterwards.

This type of inversion is very rare in spoken form an will more often be found in the context of poetry or music. It seems to flow in a more lyrical fashion and therefore is employed more often in these contexts.
