Thanku to @genichm and @smoksnes,this is my working solution

    public class MyModuleController : Controller
        {
            // GET: api/values
            [HttpGet]
            public ContentResult Get()
            {
                //return View("~/Views/Index.cshtml");

                return Content("<html><body>Hello World</body></html>","text/html");
            }
  }

You can use ContentResult, which inherits ActionResult. Just remember to set ContentType to text/html.

public class MyModuleController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    public IActionResult Get()
    {
        var content = "<html><body><h1>Hello World</h1><p>Some text</p></body></html>";

        return new ContentResult()
        {
            Content = content,
            ContentType = "text/html",
        };
    }
}

It will return a correct Content-Type:

Which will cause the browser to parse it as HTML:
