How to return ASP as an ActionResult?

In my ASP.NET MVC project I have a requirement to return certain pages in a database-driven way, i.e. the ASP page code is stored in the database, I need to retrieve it and return that.

I tried doing this using a ContentResult, but the problem I'm finding is that all the special characters denoting server-side script are coming through literally and being displayed in the browser.

How do I return an ActionResult that behaves as an ASP page, not as content?

You can't do that. ASP (Active Server Pages) is meant to be interpreted by the web server and only on the server-side. You'd have to write your own client-side ASP interpreter with something like JavaScript to be able to do what you want to do (who knows, maybe that already exists - I haven't looked). But this sounds like a very, very bad idea.
